Effective Monday, April 3rd, 2023, we will no longer be accepting any materials provided to us outside of our buckets, regardless of whether they are on the Acceptable side of our List of Acceptable and Not Acceptable Materials at www.GBCompost.com/List), with the exception of pizza boxes (which subscribers may continue to provide to us in unlimited numbers and simply set beside their buckets for us on Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup days).

PLEASE NOTE: This update should not be interpreted to mean that we no longer accept the plain/matte paper or Fall leaves listed as Acceptable on our current List of Acceptable and Not Acceptable Materials, but rather that we will only accept these materials inside our buckets going forward.

Additionally (and in conjunction with the above update), going forward, Residential and Commercial subscribers of ours will only receive weight-based credit on our Leaderboard (www.GBCompost.com/Leaderboard) and under our Waste Reduction Rewards Program (www.GBCompost.com/Rewards) for materials provided to us inside our buckets.

What this means is that while subscribers may provide pizza boxes to us outside of our buckets (and while we encourage them to do so, as most pizza boxes are not recyclable, due to being food-soiled), we will not be providing weight-based credit to our subscribers for them (assuming we receive them after 4/2/2023), unless they are provided to us inside our buckets (which will likely require them to be cut or torn into pieces small enough to fit inside said buckets).

Please note that if we arrive to perform a Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup for any subscriber on or after April 3rd, 2023 and find any materials other than pizza boxes left for us outside of our buckets, such materials will be left on the subscribers property, without further explanation.

This update to our policies is being made in furtherance of our plans to streamline/simplify our services and optimize our business as much as possible.

Any subscribers concerned about whether this update will result in their Greener Bay Compost buckets being filled faster than usual are hereby reminded that:

• Once-a-Month Residential subscribers have the option of upgrading to an Every-Other-Week/2x-a-Month Bucket Swap schedule with us at any time
• Every-Other-Week/2x-a-Month Residential subscribers and Commercial subscribers have the option of subscribing for extra buckets with us at any time (with no limit on the number of extra buckets they can subscribe for)

If you are interested in upgrading your current service with us to receive more Bucket Swaps/Compost Pickups each month, or in subscribing for extra buckets with us, please contact us at www.GBCompost.com/Contact at your earliest convenience and we will make your service change as easy as possible.

If you have any questions or concerns about the information/updates above, please do not hesitate to contact us. We are always here to help!

Until next time, best wishes and happy composting!
