40% OF FOOD IN THE U.S. GOES TO WASTE IN A LANDFILL. WE THINK THAT’S PRETTY MESSED UP.

 

WHY COMPOST?

A DROP IN THE BUCKET CAN TRULY SAVE THE WORLD.

The simple habit of composting — putting your compostables in a different colored bin — can make an incredible impact in crafting a more sustainable future.

Learn how composting with WasteNot is different from composting at home here.

SOME BENEFITS of composting.

  • Composting means a less smelly trash can, reducing trips to the alley, and knowing you’re leading a more sustainable life. WasteNot curbside pick up makes it as convenient as possible to compost at home.

  • Modeling and normalizing the habit of composting can help influence societal norms. Reduction of organic matter in alleys can lessen rodent traffic. Finished compost giveback can enrich soil in your yard, block, or community garden. WasteNot’s fully electric fleet of vehicles makes sure no harmful emissions are created while we do our service.

  • We know our current way of doing waste management is unsustainable. Composting is a simple habit that can have massive implications for our home planet. Not only does composting reduce greenhouse gas emissions from landfills, but it also allows other organisms to flourish.
