Sticker Collection
For just $7 have yard waste, textiles, or event waste picked up alongside your green bin. Purchase a pack of Black Earth Compost Stickers (5 for $35) through your customer account and place it on a brown yard waste bag. Not available in RI and CT.
Textile Pickup
We partner with a textiles recycling program to sort and recycle your unwanted clothing and fabrics, just set them out alongside your compost bin on your regular pickup day.
We accept: Clothing (belts, hats, intact shoes, jackets, gloves), fabric (towels, curtains, linens, fabric scraps), and similar items.
We don't accept: Carpets or rugs, wet/moldy/mildewed textiles, comforters, pillows, or stuffed animals, or heavily worn shoes.
How to set it out: Place your textiles in a white plastic drawstring bag with a BEC sticker next to your compost bin. Limit 3 bags per week, and please don't put bags out on rainy days.
If your pickup falls on the same day as trash collection, move the bag away from the curb and leave a note on your compost bin so our driver knows to grab it.

Event Waste Pickup
Party waste adds up fast, but most of it can be composted! Just toss your certified compostable plates, cups, and utensils in a brown yard waste bag (with a sticker) and set it out on your regular pickup day.
We always recommend going reusable over compostable when you can, but when you do need disposables, make sure they're certified compostable. See our recommended certified compostable products.
