Food Scraps/Organics Recycling (Composting)
ReCo OneStop combines your Hard-to-Recycle membership with door-to-door pickup of your food scraps!
Convenience
The ReCollective is your OneStop solution to reducing household waste! We pick up food scraps just like we do your hard-to-recycle canvas bags – from your doorstep!
Choose Your Reward
Twice a year you’ll have the choice to receive compost back or free add-on specialty recycling to your monthly ReCo pickup as a reward for keeping all those food scraps out of the landfill!

How it Works
1
You’ll receive a 4-gallon bin to fill up with your food scraps. We collect your bin on your scheduled collection days and once a month we’ll collect your canvas recycling bags at the same time (you choose!)!
2
You’ll receive a clean purple bin and clean canvas bags each time our team collects them!

Earn rewards as you divert your food scraps from the landfill! Twice a year you’ll have the option to receive a bucket of compost back for your garden or free add-on specialty recycling.

Who is your composting partner?
ReCo partners with Brooks Contractor to turn your food scraps into nutrient-rich soil!
Do you take BPI-certified compostable items?
We shy away from compostable plastics. Bambooware is acceptable. 1) Plastics certified by the Biodegradable Products Institute must meet a standard of carbon conversion to CO2; however, they do not biodegrade into nutrient-rich soil. 2) Contamination is an issue because it is hard to distinguish truly compostable materials from plastic. 3) PFAS are a concern.
Food Scrap service is not in my area. When will it be available?
We plan to continue expansion in the coming months and throughout 2025.
Do you offer a Food Scrap-only service plan?
Not at this time. We offer Food Scrap pickup as an add-on service to Hard-to-Recycle Plans.
