Composting sounds great! What can I compost?
Residential customers should refer to The List. If they have questions about something not on the list, they can email or call us. For commercial customers we can handle any kind of food waste as well as many of the other items on The List.
I only have a little bit of space. How big is the collection container?
Our standard collection container is 5 gallons in volume. It is around 14" tall and 12" in diameter. It has a lid that seals but is fairly easy to take on and off. If this container will not work for your space, contact us and we may be able to work something out.
I'd like to try this out but I am worried that I will have to stop for any number of reasons. Do I have to make a long-term commitment?
Absolutely not. We offer the service on a month-to-month basis. You are welcome to cancel at any time. However, we find that it works so well for most people that they stick with it as long as they live in Philly.
I love this idea. And I think my neighbor would too. But neither of us produces a lot of food waste. Can I share a container with a neighbor?
Of course. If you and your neighbor don't produce a lot of food waste and want to share a container, go for it.
So you guys make composting cheap, simple and convenient. What's the catch?
You have to live in Philly.
