Pricing
Think of subscribing as reserving space in a Block Bin.
You pay for a certain volume in a Bin, and your neighbors (other subscribers) do the same.
Most subscribers (households of two) require 10 gallons per month, but we can customize plans to your fit your needs.
$10 /month

No bills to divide.
Splitting a compost bill with neighbors is a drag.
Share the cost without needing to share a subscription.
What else we can recycle
Block Bins are dedicated-stream recycling bins.
By collecting one material per bin, we enable better recycling options.
Request Block Bins for these materials, or contact us to add the recycling services your community needs.
