Bin Maintenance
We provide a 5-gallon bin for collection. While they are not required, some composters use liners in their bin. We strongly encourage our composters to use them, especially those who live in apartments or condos. We can provide a roll of 20 13-gallon bin liners for $6.00. To purchase, send us an email and we will drop off the roll on your pickup day.
If you decide to purchase these liners from a different source, they must be certified compostable liners, such as BioBag brand. You can find these liners here and here. They also sell approved compostable liners at Mom's Organic Market in Cherry Hill. If you have any questions about liners for your bin, please reach out at gardenstatecompost@gmail.com.
Some composters also like to use a countertop collector that they use in their kitchen and then transfer its contents into the larger provided bin. You can find something like that, here.
Have a stinky bin? Here are some tips on how to keep your bin mess and stink-free.
- Keep your bin somewhere cool and dark.
- Liners really help with the cleanliness of your bin, which helps with the smell.
- Keep your food waste in your refrigerator or freezer until your pickup day. (Co-Owner Catie's preferred method)
- Add brown waste to your bin with the food waste (ex; dead leaves, paper, cardboard)
Bins are property of Garden State Composting. Damaged or lost bins will result in a $12 fee. Bins are taken back and reused when service is cancelled to decrease the amount of plastic used.
