Like all of you, we have been closely monitoring the outbreak of COVID-19 to ensure the safety of you as a "team member" and the greater Indianapolis community at large. We would like to share the following information regarding our operations, scrap collection and "team safety".

As always feel free to reach out via email or talk to us if you have any questions or concerns.

COLLECTION SCHEDULE & PROCESSES

Our scrap collection route is operating as normal. To reduce to possibility of contamination we ask that you keep your bin cleaned and lined with compostable bag liners. As an added precaution, spray the bin, especially the exterior with a disinfectant spray. We wear rubber gloves, but let's be extra safe, okay?

Don't be offended. We have put in a policy of 'no physical contact' with customers and community members. Meaning no shaking hands.

COVID-19 AND IMPACT ON WASTE & COMPOSTING

The National Waste and Recycling Association released this guidance in the form of a FAQ sheet for companies operating in the waste and recycling industry. The virus does not spread through food and can easily be killed by detergents and disinfectants at regular temperatures used for washing. Our compost batches routinely reach temperatures upwards of 130 degrees Fahrenheit and stay there for at least 7 days. We are confident that our process complies with industry best practices and meets the requirements for pathogen elimination. You might take a look at this list that includes products that meet the EPA’s criteria for use against SARS-CoV-2, the cause of COVID-19.

SCRAP COLLECTION & DROPOFF

Please continue your normal scrap collection practice inside your kitchens.
Monthly subscribers, please freeze your scraps if we have to suspend our collections operations.
Consider using gloves and/or wipe or spray down the bucket and handles with disinfectant.

EVENTS AND CLASSES AS PER SCHEDULE

At this time all events have been cancelled until further notice. Visit our FB page for details.

As a team member, maintain a healthy spirit and positive attitude and we will get through this crisis collectively. While we feel great about our own immunity, we want to limit the possibility of being carriers and putting those with vulnerable immune systems at risk. Let's stay safe, rational and continue building topsoil for a healthy biosphere!

Onward and upward,

Greg F. Walton

Did you know...

Indiana is home to the largest landfill operation in the country. Other states dump their garbage here because our landfill fees are so low.
As stated above, that cardboard is compostable! Check out our list of what is and is not compostable and add that to the bin.
