In 2018, our members diverted more than 6,069,029 lbs of compostables from the landfill!
We’re happy to announce that CompostNow has been Durham Living Wage Certified!
What does that mean?
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.
To be certified, employers must pay their employees a minimum of $12.53/hour (or $11.03/hour with health benefits). This amount is determined by The City of Durham based on the federal poverty level. It will gradually rise to $15/hour by July 2019.
Why
To learn more about the Durham Living Wage Project, and to discover other living wage certified employers, be sure to check out this web page.
If you’re interested in working for CompostNow, we’re always looking for applicants who value the hard work that makes a difference. We're always accepting applications for Route Wranglers and Brand Ambassadors (though positions may not be open immediately). Feel free to email us with any questions at thedirt@compostnow.org.
