For Immediate Release, Raleigh, North Carolina, Jul. 15, 2024 – CompostNow, a leading provider of composting services in the Southeast, has announced the launch of its new Hard-to-Recycle Service. This convenient pick-up service helps homes and businesses recycle items that are not typically collected in curbside recycling programs, such as plastic film, small electronics, styrofoam, and more.
Building on their established food scrap pick-up service, CompostNow will manage the collection of the hard-to-recycle items and has partnered with reputable organizations, who ensure the materials are recycled properly.
"We've been listening closely to our members' request for an easy solution to divert their hard-to-recycle items from the landfill. Our new service further supports community members in their resource recovery and diversion efforts," said Kat Nigro, Chief Operating Officer at CompostNow. "This effort aligns with our mission to continuously seek better and more accessible alternatives to landfills."
CompostNow’s Hard-to-Recycle Service allows individuals to pick and choose the specific items they want to divert from landfills, utilizing a source-separated recycling model that reduces contamination and enhances the recyclability of materials through trusted partners.
“We know recycling is complicated and recognize there is skepticism and mistrust. With this new service, our promise is to be honest, transparent, and communicative as we navigate the complexities of recycling,” said Justin Senkbeil, Chief Executive Officer, CompostNow. “We’ve spent over a decade earning the trust and confidence of our compost service members, and see this as an opportunity to bring ease and transparency to an otherwise confusing process.”
For subscribers of CompostNow’s home composting services, hard-to-recycle items are collected alongside their compost bin. Those without a compost service subscription can schedule a one-time pick-up through CompostNow. The current service area for this program includes Atlanta, GA; Asheville, NC; Charleston, SC; and Raleigh-Durham (Triangle), NC, with plans to continue to evolve and expand this offering.
