Here is how our composting program works:

We come every Thursday or Friday and pick up all your compost that you put in 5 gallon pails.  
We compost all your waste, clean the bucket and return the buckets to you.  
At the end of the year we give you 2 pails of rich, organic compost (or you can donate your compost for use on the farm)

Costs are:

• $10/wk residential for 2-6 pails
• $20/wk commercial for up to 12 pails
• Free pick up of bagged dry leaves 
• Free pick up of bagged grass clipping (no pesticides used on the lawn in the last 3 years)
