CompostNow: The Garbage Man Picks Up and Drops Off

By on March 29, 2013 in Ideas

With CompostNow you can home compost, without composting at home. Members receive a small bin to keep in your kitchen or on your back porch. Fill it with all you organic waste. This includes all food waste, paper products, and anything else compostable.

As a CompostNow member, you are entitled to receive the final results of your composting efforts. Here’s the deal, on average composting yields about %50 of the original weight of waste. In other words, if they’ve collected 100 lbs of waste from you, you are entitled to have up to 50 lbs of nutrient-rich soil delivered right to your doorstep.

CompostNow costs $25 for weekly pickups and is only available in Raleigh, North Carolina. Could this work in your community?

    I love it! That is a great way to compost without actually composting.

    I think they should offer a separate service for people who are willing to set aside composting materials for them to take, but do not want any compost in return. Maybe a free service to take the stuff, and they could use the excess compost generated for regular sales.
