We'd Like to Hear From You About Compost Pick Up
No pickups right now but we know a guy, let's network
HOW THE PICK-UP SERVICE WORKS
- Green Quest drops off a 5 gallon bucket, air tight lid, Bokashi bran and magnetic instruction sheet.
- You fill the bucket with organic material and layer with Bokashi bran.
- When filled leave Bucket out, we pick up and leave a clean bucket, lid. Leave the empty bran jar and we'll refill or replace it as needed.
- Food scraps are delivered to a local farm and "turned" into rich organic matter. There the farmer can grow crops in the nutrient rich soil.
- After 4 months of continued service, you receive clean screened local compost or topsoil (75% compost) in the spring delivered to your driveway. Amount of "soil return" is based on amount generated.
PICK UP SERVICE INSTRUCTIONS:
- Sprinkle Bokashi brand in bottom of bucket.
- Add organic matter (Check Yes List) Smaller pieces better.
- Sprinkle more bran each time organic matter is added. A few tablespoons for a small amount; a handful for a large amount.
- Repeat until bucket is full. Press and compact contents for more space.
- Set bucket(s) outside in designated area for pick-up.
- GQ driver will take organics and leave a clean bucket, lid and bran each pick up.
The Cost & The Benefits
A Valuable Resource
Our organics pick up service is one of the easiest, most effective ways to create a more sustainable food cycle in the Greater Red Bank area. This service will help residential generators of Food Waste to reduce the impact on our landfill, create jobs, decrease methane gas emissions and decrease municipal tipping fees. We suspect the kids will take the compost pail and run with it. They are eager to learn new things and adapt easily to change. Easy Peasy!
With the Monmouth County landfill due to close soon what will our future look like and what are the cost's if we keep the current "food is garbage" practices in place? Future generations will need to have all their waste hauled to another state. Knowing food waste is heavy and expensive to haul, this is an serious economic and environmental problem than can be easily changed . A simple adjustment of current habits by switching food scraps from the garbage can to the Bokashi bucket will establish a domino effect of community awareness that food is a valuable resource to be composted. A small adjustment and we create an economic windfall for New Jersey - taking care of the beautiful and rapidly changing environment we all live in.
