Food scraps collection for events

Food Scrap Event Collection Details

Collection is $35 per 35-gallon bin, plus a delivery fee that depends on where your event is. If you'd rather bring your scraps to one of our sites yourself, there's no delivery fee.

For smaller events that don't need a full bin, get in touch and can work something out.

Tell us about your event using the form and we'll let you know what to expect.

A note on "compostable" plastics:

These labels aren't regulated, so "compostable" or "biodegradable" can appear on a product without meeting any particular standards. Many are made with the same chemical additives as regular plastic, and less is known about their toxicity. Because of that, and because they contaminate the compost we make, we ask you to leave them out.
