Are you ready to take your business to the next level of sustainability?
Where do you start, and how much time, money, and effort would it cost?
If your business produces food or paper waste, composting it may be one of
the most simple yet impactful ways to make a difference.
Compost RVA makes it easy to integrate composting into your business model!
How does it work?
1. Compost RVA will visit your business and assess your daily/weekly waste stream, and establish a custom pick up schedule.
2. Compost RVA will bring you compost buckets and lids to get you started, and review what is compostable with your staff.
3. You fill the buckets with food waste, and store it in the designated spot.
4. Compost RVA will pick up multiple times each week following your custom pick up schedule, and bring you clean buckets.

Why compost?
Because you get compost back! We provide one 5-gallon bucket of Compost RVA’s mixed compost back to you to help your restaurant garden/landscape per year, but can provide larger amounts at a rate depending on quantity.
Composting provides a bacterial source for plants and soil to work together effectively.
Composting provides an efficient usage of space that can hold waste, but is eventually turned into a reusable product.
Because you help our community! Your food waste becomes compost we donate to the the community gardens to combat food deserts and food shortage.
Compost provides not only nutrients, but beneficial bacteria the soil and plants need.
Good bacteria in soil produces better plant growth.
