Benefits of composting with Gainesville Compost:
- Reduce your trash and environmental impact. Potentially, downsize your dumpster and pay less for waste disposal.
- “Green your business” and appeal to your eco-minded customers by participating in composting: Gainesville restaurant-goers are more excited than ever about composting thanks to our highly publicized initiative!
- Show off your sustainability effort with a Gainesville Compost Partner window decal, monthly mentions in our popular email newsletter, and your logo on our farmers market signage.
- Support local community gardens. All of our compost is produced throughout a network of community partner locations, many of which are community gardens that benefit from the organic matter we contribute to their plots!
For a small price per pickup, we collect all uncooked, pre-consumer vegetable and fruit waste, egg shells, coffee grounds, and more.
