The simple steps to start composting are highlighted below:
Participating residents will be given an airtight 5-gallon compost receptacle, with the option to select bi-weekly (every other week) or weekly service pickup of a 5-gallon bucket. A “receptacle swap” strategy will be used, which includes replacing used receptacles with a new, clean sanitized container each pickup.
There are no long term commitments and no cancellation fees, the service is also offered year-round!
WasteNot is able to accept a wide variety of compostables including all food waste, 100% paper products, certified compostable products, and more in the receptacles provided to Orland Park residents.
All billing, customer service requests, account questions, and general service questions will be handled through WasteNot. Participating residents, or "Members", will have access to a "Member Portal" that provides easy access to edit, change, or review service options and billing. The portal also gives Members exclusive access to WasteNot's sustainable online shop and tracks personalized waste diversion metrics. Service can be suspended, skipped, and customized all in the portal easily.
