Can I Put Meat & Bones In My Bucket?

Yes, you can. Meat and bones are compostable just like any other food waste.

​

Can I Get Weekly Pickup?

As of now, based on the current routes, we offer bi-weekly pickup. There are times if it works out, that we can pick up your bucket every week. Feel free to contact us directly for these cases. We are expanding so there is a possibility we will offer weekly pickups in the future.

​

Can I Get A Smaller Size Bucket?

Currently, we only offer our five-gallon buckets. This may change in the future (for bigger and smaller sizes).

​

I Have Multiple Buildings I Need Pickup Service For, Is There A Discount?

Yes. We offer bulk discounts. The price lowers as more buckets are added. Contact us directly to learn more.

​

Can I Choose My Pickup Day?

It depends. Our routes are scheduled based on many different factors. Sometimes, if our schedule allows, we can make certain accommodations. Contact us directly to learn more.

​

Can I Pay Using Venmo, PayPal, Credit/Debit Card, etc.?

Currently, we accept checks, cash, and Venmo. Our Venmo name is @MusicMountainCompost.

​

Can I Use Compostable Bags?

Yes, you can. They will however end up in their pile as they take a long time to break down v.s. food waste.
