AUDIT

We run a quick assessment of your lifestyle, yes…. because there’s waste in everything we do and consume. We rummage through your bin & show you how Greenbin works. Professional audits are available for Restaurants and commercial enterprises.

GREENBIN IT!

We supply you with your first Greenbin and you’re good to go. Fill your bin with veggie scraps, old food and cooked leftovers. Place your Greenbin in a Fridge or Freezer until pickup day. We provide you with the list of everything that can go safely into your bin to be composted.

WE COLLECT

Schedule a pick up, daily, weekly or monthly. We will handle the rest. Leave your Greenbin outside for pick-up (on your selected day) and you will receive a clean Greenbin at each pick-up.

WE COMPOST

We put all your food waste through an organic process to break it down and turn into compost. This compost is provided to local farmers and consumers, thus putting nutrients back into their soil.

Easy Residential Collections

We understand the daily constraints of working families which is why we want to ease the pressure and offer a service that will ensure that each person is doing their bit in keeping food waste out of landfills.
