Due to the holiday, we needed to make slight adjustments to our routes as we will not be operating on Thanksgiving Day (though we will be the following Friday).
By combining resources, energy, and passions it will allow for the combined business to service more households, multi-family communities, offices, restaurants, and more in The Triangle. Together the two businesses diverted 856,984 lbs from the landfill in 2016 and are looking to more than double that figure in 2017. Additionally, CompostNow delivered 100,950 lbs of compost created by their members to their community garden partners.
The stickers you find on produce include some important information about the product at hand: how much it costs, whether it was grown organically, if it was grown with GMOS or if it was produced with chemical fertilizers. After you leave the grocery store, however, the stickers (which are coated in plastic and glue) usually become nothing more than landfill waste.
In 2017, we are excited to announce the launch of our “Refer A Friend, Earn $10” referral program. We give you all the tools you need to easily share a two-week free trial with your family and friends and you are rewarded with a $10 credit once they sign up. Easy (CompostNow) money!
We’re happy to announce that CompostNow has been Durham Living Wage Certified! The Durham Living Wage Project (DLWP) launched in early 2015 with the mission to support worker livelihoods by urging employers to pay living wages, certifying and publicly recognizing employers, and promoting living wages as a matter of conscience within our community.
