FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

WHY ARE DROPOFF CARTS LOCKED?
We lock carts when we see a high rate of contamination or when there is risk that the cart will be used as a trash bin by people passing by. Locked carts provide you with a cleaner dropoff experience and reduces the volume of material we have to discard due to contamination and trash.

WHY DO I HAVE TO PAY TO PARTICIPATE IN YOUR DROPOFF PROGRAMS?
We have tools to purchase, bills to pay, and a vocation to build for soil farmers who want to make a career in regenerating soil. We are not supported by local government and do not receive any donations or grants to fund the program. Service fees and subscription fees are our only source of revenue.

Our cost to process one batch of foodscraps (approximately 27 cubic feet) is $260. One batch yields approximately six cubic feet of sifted, finished compost which sells for about $40. We make up the remaining $220 by charging businesses and households for pickup services and dropoff programs.

CAN I PUT PAPER IN MY COMPOST BUCKET?
We do not accept any paper based items from our members at this time. Paper comes in many varieties- bleached, unbleached, Kleenex, toilet rolls, kitchen rolls, dryer sheets, bounce sheets etc. Kitchen towels could have made contact with non-vegetative waste (meat, dairy, oils) which we are restricted from accepting in our stream.
 
As a community scale operation we do not have the resources to ensure and enforce the type and volume of paper that will come into our stream if we open ourselves to this material. So at this time we've decided to put in certain fail safe measures to keep our costs low and operations feasible.
