Why people choose Block Bins
Sam
"Block bins is the best composting service I have used. I love that I can drop my compost off whenever works for me and dont need to worry about setting a bucket out once a month. Plus, it is easily the most cost effective option for me and I only have to walk a block to drop off my compost. Highly recommend!"

"I’ve been a Block Bins subscriber for a few years and I absolutely love it! With Block Bins, I can compost almost all my food waste and feel better about my impact on the planet. I chose Block Bins over another city service because it supports the Chicago community, is a little cheaper than its competitors, and I like that the compost pickup isn’t door to door, making fewer stops and therefore, less of an impact on the planet there, too. If you’re considering it, do it! If you can pay for Netflix, you can pay to compost. You won’t regret it!"
Lorenzo
"Block Bins is by far one of the best services I pay for. I’ve had this service since 2019 and I almost get annoyed at the thought of not having it. Being able to take out the compost the same way as trash but in its own bin feels so perfectly ordinary and really sets them apart from other services in the composting industry. Pickup is routine and eventless, as it should be, and any delays of disruptions in service are handled excellently by the Block Bins team. Their online portal keeps getting more flexible, helpful, and insightful, and I look forward to seeing this service continue to spread and mature :)"
