Compost with Us

How it works:

Our goal was to simplify composting and make it easy for you! First, collect your compost at home in a compostable bag or pail. Bring it into the refillery the next time you shop. Each 10L bag or pail will cost $1.50. And we do the rest! 
If you are bringing in your compost in a bag please tie it. If you are using just a pail we suggest lining your bin with paper or newspaper to help keep things clean for both of us.
