Our commercial program offers weekly or twice weekly collections for businesses, restaurants, stratas, apartments, etc. We replace your full compost bin with a clean and sanitised bin each week (or twice weekly). All bins are labelled with acceptable items poster and are lined with BPI certified compostable bags. We also offer counter top caddies for prep stations in kitchens or individual units. This makes it easier for the kitchen team or residents to collect their organics and transfer it to the large rolling tote. Included with your onboarding is training for all staff (or information sessions with residents) to streamline and explain the composting process, and show your team just how easy it can be! You will also receive an impact report yearly with accurate information on how much organic waste you were able to divert.

Our commercial rates vary based on bin size and frequency of collection.
