Apartment or Condo Community Composting

Residents can register and pay per household for the service at 14.50/month which includes a food scrap collection container for the kitchen and option to receive compost portions back 2x per year. Alternatively, they can work together with management to establish a group commercial rate based on commercial rate structure that begins at $65/month for 1 of 21 gal bin maintained weekly. The number of households that can be accommodated depends on individual resident combined volumes. We can host a 3-6 month pilot project if needed to determine baseline for your group or if it makes sense to host a station for a longer term project.

 

Residents collect kitchen scraps in a bucket with sealed lid that is provided or can be purchased depending on rate structure. Bucket can be stored under the sink, next to your garbage bin or even in your fridge or freezer during the week. Once or twice a week or at the resident's convenience, residents go down to the larger community food scrap collection bin located within the residential facility footprint and deposit their kitchen scraps from their bucket and cover with the carbon cover material (mulch) that is provided. On a weekly basis, Sunshine Community Compost picks up the food scraps to process the material offsite into compost, leaving behind a clean and empty collection bin for the next week of community food scrap collection.
