What can I put in my bin?

"Food and fiber" is an easy way to remember. If it was edible, it goes in. Napkins, flowers, egg shells, and coffee grinds are all welcome, as well. Please no charcoal, animal/human feces or urine, or excessive amounts of liquids.

What happens to the stuff you collect?

The compostable waste we collect is processed at one of our commercial composting partner facilities in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.

We service homes and businesses throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina. You can confirm if your address is within our service area by clicking the Get Started button above.

Can I use a different bin?

Yes, absolutely, as long as you empty your materials into our bin when you put it out for collection.

 
What do I do with my bin on pick-up day?

It happens to all of us. Just send a message to us through the Member Portal or to our email at howdy@crowntowncompost.com, and we'll arrange for your bin to get picked up. Additional charges may apply for off-schedule pick-ups.
