A one-time refundable bucket deposit of $18 is additional and due with your initial subscription. Deposit is returned upon cancellation of service and return of bucket.
Cancel at any time during your subscription term; unused pick-up fees are promptly refunded without penalty or delay.
At the end of your subscription term, you'll have the option of renewing for the same term or for the term of your choice (1, 6 or 12 months). We'll contact you when it's time to renew.
We recommend one bucket per household to start. Contact us if more than one bucket is required. A 50% quantity discount is available for additional buckets collected from the same residence.
Commercial compost collection is also available at a low cost. Contact us to discuss bin quantity and frequency of pick-up. We'll tailor a collection program to your company's needs.
Scheduled Skips
There may be times when a vacation or other circumstances prevent you from leaving your bucket out for collection. No problem! Just let us know in advance so we can remove you from the schedule. We ask that you limit scheduled skips to two per calendar year.
Forgotten Bucket
If you forget to put out your bucket on collection day, our collector will be unable to return until your next scheduled exchange. There are some drop-off options in the city of Richmond that will accept waste if you cannot wait until your next pick-up!
Pausing Service
Need to pause service for an extended period (2 pick-ups or more)? No problem! Contact us to make arrangements. We'll pick up your full bucket and will drop off your next bucket when you're ready to resume.
Moving Service
Moving? No problem - take us with you! Let us know your new address so we can confirm it's within our service area. We can switch exchange to your new address at any time during the month.
Canceling Service
Curbside composting isn't a fit for everyone. As always, your prepaid or autopay subscription may be canceled any time and for any reason without penalty. Unused collection fees and deposit(s) are refunded within approximately 5 business days of your bucket's return.
Reporting
We offer end of year reports to let you know how much compostable waste you've diverted from the landfill and how many compost credits you've accrued! You may contact us any time during the year for a current tally of your compost credits and may redeem them at any time.
