Compost Bowling Green Q & A

Can Compost BG collect food scraps from any residence?

Yes. Customers can compost whether they live in a house or an apartment. As long as you can leave a bucket by your curb or front door then you can compost.

​

A counter top bucket bin can be provided for an added fee.

How much food scraps does the average home produce?

This really depends on the home. We estimate that the average home will produce around 3 gallons per week. However, we encourage you to fill the bucket full.


A second bucket can be provided for an added fee.

Can I compost paper products?

Yes. This includes cotton balls, paper towels, egg cartons, and butcher paper. Certain papers such as magazines, newspapers with non-soy ink, and slick papers will not be accepted.


We encourage you to rip all paper a couple times before throwing it in your bucket.

Where should I leave my bucket?

Curb side is best. However, we understand that this may not work for all customers.

​

We can discuss as needed.

How will I pay?

Residents will pay through a PayPal auto-draft. Businesses will be invoiced monthly.

Is there a referral program?

Yes. Each referral that becomes a customer for one year gets you one month of service at no cost.
