HOW COMPOSTING WITH WASTENOT WORKS.

Full list of accepted items here.

 
  • Sign up for your desired service type here on our website. You will receive your service confirmation in 1-3 days. We will drop a receptacle off for you to collect your compostable waste and begin your membership.

  • Fill up your WasteNot receptacle with food scraps and other compostable waste. Do your part to keep valuable resources from going to the landfill and to prevent greenhouse gas emissions from entering our atmosphere.

  • We pick up your receptacle on your scheduled service date and drop a completely clean and sanitized receptacle for you to use until your next service. Eligible members have the option to receive finished compost biannually.

  • Members have access to the WasteNot Shop where you can purchase all the compostable, plastic-free, and sustainably sourced products you need to live a sustainable life. Free, zero emissions delivery on all orders on your next service day for bucket service members. Shop available through your member portal.
