✅ A clean, food-safe, and individually-numbered five gallon bucket (which can fit over 40 pounds of food scraps and associated organics), with a BPI-certified compostable liner inside, and an “easy peel” lid, branded with Greener Bay Compost logos, plus a convenient, paper copy of our List of Acceptable and Not Acceptable Materials for Composting, delivered right to your doorstep.

✅ Your full/semi-full buckets swapped out for new, clean buckets every two to four weeks, depending on which of our services you sign up for, in a courteous, consistent, reliable fashion.

✅ The contents of your buckets screened, by hand, by Greener Bay Compost staff, for contamination (such as produce stickers, plastic, glass, metal, and other materials we consider Not Acceptable).

✅ Individualized education/feedback from us, via text message and/or email, with regard to any contaminants we may find in your buckets and what you and others in your household can do to help keep our compost clean/safe and contaminant-free.

✅ Your used buckets washed by us, so you don’t need to deal with how smelly, dirty, moldy, or disgusting they may become, or the hassle/difficulty/expense of washing them yourself.

✅ Guaranteed composting (as opposed to landfilling, or anaerobic digestion) of the Acceptable materials contained in your buckets (a hard, dirty, sometimes smelly, and occasionally dangerous 4-6 month process), at our food-waste-focused, commercial compost facility, which is the only facility of its kind in Northeastern Wisconsin.

✅ The ability to compost not only common compostables with us, such as fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, and egg shells, but materials the Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources (DNR) and your local Municipality do not recommend you compost at home as well, including, but not limited to, cooked and cured meats, soft and solid dairy (cheese, yogurt, etc.), bones, leftovers, and certain certified compostable products that are only compostable at facilities like ours.

✅ The privilege of knowing that you are preventing food waste from ending up in our local landfills (where it would produce methane, a toxic greenhouse gas, up to 30%+ more potent than carbon dioxide), helping us create a valuable soil amendment that will help your community grow more healthy, happy plants and more nutritious food, and helping us delay the need to build yet another landfill in Northeastern Wisconsin (which would come at great expense to everyone who lives here).

✅ The privilege of knowing that you are helping us create compost that is extremely nutritious, better than any compost that could be produced by any single household alone, and far superior to the “free” and/or cheap “composts” available elsewhere (including the heavily contaminated/plastic-filled “compost” found at most Municipal yard waste sites and the bagged “compost” from most “big box stores,” which is often full of sand, large chunks of wood/mulch, and inorganic matter and/or made from inferior feedstocks, such as manure, “biosolids”/sewage sludge, and/or anaerobic digestate).

✅ Special, subscriber-only pricing on any nutrient-rich, contaminant-free compost (1’4″ Screened or Unscreened) you may purchase directly from us at www.GBCompost.com/Compost, which represents the best pricing we offer anyone on our products.

✅ The opportunity to participate in occasional giveaways we may do or to take advantage of limited-time/seasonal offers we may make on our compost from time to time, for subscribers only.

✅ A 50%+ reduction in the amount of trash your household produces, far less smelly trash bins, and potential savings on trash bags.

✅ Increased awareness as to how food waste occurs in your household, which may lead to changes in your shopping and/or eating habits, which could save you significant amounts of money on food/groceries over time.

✅ The opportunity to “lead by example,” be the change you want to see in your community, and be an amazing role model to your friends and family, with regard to being less wasteful, more sustainable, and a wonderful steward of our planet.

✅ The privilege of knowing that you are personally supporting and enabling the existence of the only Community Composting operation in your area and the only compost facility of its kind in Northeastern Wisconsin, not only for you, but for your loved ones, your neighbors, and future generations of Wisconsinites as well, who would maybe like to compost on their own but cannot, due in many cases to age, disability, or other limiting factors.

✅ Convenient, automated, monthly billing, with a paid invoice emailed to you each month, for your records.

✅ Five-star customer service, including clear communication and extraordinary responsiveness, including on weekends.

✅ The option to receive convenient Email Reminders from us on the days prior to your regularly-scheduled Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup days, to help you remember to place your buckets outside for us by 8:00 AM.

✅ The ability to update/change your payment method on file with us on your own/online, 24 hours a day, seven days a week, by visiting our Manage my Compost Pickup Service Subscription page.

✅ The opportunity to add extra buckets to your subscription with us at any time, via our “Add-a-Bucket” option, for an additional monthly charge, if you find that one bucket is not enough to contain the amount of food scraps and associated organics your household produces every two to four weeks, or you need an extra bucket (or several) for one-off events, such as birthday parties or family “get-togethers,” or on a temporary/seasonal basis.

✅ The opportunity to perform self-service Early/Late Swaps or “Make-Up” Swaps, upon request, at a convenient location in west Green Bay, or to request that we simply skip a Swap/Pickup, for in the event that you know in advance you will miss a regularly-scheduled Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup (due to going “out of town,” on vacation, etc.) or have already missed one (by mistake/accidentally).

✅ The right to cancel your service with us at any time, either temporarily or permanently, by simply contacting us to make arrangements for a “Final Compost Pickup” and returning our bucket(s)/lid(s) to us in acceptable condition.
