Get Your Residents Composting
Food scrap recycling is rapidly gaining traction, as communities have become increasingly aware of how landfills and waste incineration negatively affect our economy, health, and the environment. Compost Crew is partnering with local governments to help achieve zero waste objectives with these options:
Drop-off Locations
Offer your residents nearby location(s) to drop-off their organic scraps on their own time. Compost Crew will then haul the scraps to a nearby composting site for processing.
Curbside Composting
Make it easy for residents to divert organics by offering curbside food scrap pick-up. Residents set out their bin each week much like they do with trash & recycling and Compost Crew empties the bins. Municipalities may choose to subsidize all or part of the costs.
Full Turn-key
Nurture a closed loop system by sending the organic scraps collected from your residents to a local Compost Outpost® to be processed into nutrient-rich compost.
