December Newsletter: New Partnership with Oh Eco, Orlando's Zero Waste Shop


Sign up for O-Town Compost’s service at Oh Eco Zero Waste Shop

Thanks to Alyssa Bolaños, owner of Oh Eco, you can now sign up for O-Town Compost’s convenient residential composting service at the shop! Simply scan the QR code, enter your details, and take home a bucket!

Anyone who signs up at Oh Eco’s shop will receive a special promo code for $10 off service. We love to see community partners teaming up to fight waste and starve the landfill.

What you do if you have a pumpkin, or more than fit in your bucket.

Americans toss out 25% more trash from Halloween to the New Year than any other time of year. O-Town Compost will only pick-up what’s contained in your bucket on a normal pickup day. Then what do you do if your scraps won’t all fit in the bucket, or you have a Jack-O-Lantern?

Step 1: Sign in to your customer portal and access the shop.

Step 2: Scroll down mid-page to locate the item titled “Additional pickup of material that doesn’t fit in bucket.”

Step 3:Order item for $5. Now our driver will know on your next pickup to expect additional material outside the bucket, and will happily collect it.

Step 4: Keep your additional scraps in the fridge or freezer until the night before pickup day, and put them out in a bag, box, or even a container of your own. We’ll wash and return the container to you if you reach out and let us know!


Get Involved in The Community…

Sign Up to be a “Feed The Need” volunteer!

Feed the Need Florida launched in 2020 as a response to increased food insecurity caused by the COVID-19 Global Pandemic and continues to respond to the dynamic food needs of our community.

Volunteers are an important part of the 4Roots family and key to the success of our mission.


Composting Advocacy Opportunities

To achieve the goal of a Zero Waste Central Florida, it’s going to take political advocacy and action at the community grassroots level. Going forward, we want to bring together our subscribers, who are willing to write, call, and canvass for political change in support of food waste recycling.

Our subscribers are already doing a lot, diverting their household’s food scraps from the landfill, and deserve all the praise. Although, to live in a zero waste society, we need to unify our voice.

Click on the link below, and send us an email letting us know you’re interested in joining the Composting Advocacy Group, and we’ll be in touch shortly with more information about our efforts. Members of The Compost Advocacy Group will be subject to discounts, and promo codes.
