organic waste recycling

Creating a network of community composters

What happens when you tell your neighbor or friend about O-Town Compost’s convenient subscription service, and they subscribe? Well, first we make sure you and the one you told both get two free pickups as part of our immense gratitude and referral program.

Secondly, a network is formed of Orlando community composters. People who care about reducing their waste even when the price of garbage service remains the same. (One day we’ll have a Pay As You Throw program here in town). Thanks to the ones who subscribe, there are little pockets of residents around Orange and Seminole Counties diverting their food scraps from the landfill.

The food scraps start to pile up, and our routes become more efficient, using less fuel to collect greater volumes. For example, in the Delaney Park neighborhood, within a 7-8 block radius, you have seven O-Town Compost subscribers. Some of these people are going to use their share of black gold to create a lovely pollinator or vegetable garden in the front yard, making the neighborhood overall a nicer place to live for everyone, and inspiring others to be mindful of their ecosystem. Now that’s the beauty of community composting.

O-Town Compost Extends Its Reach Into College Park! (32804)!!!

“Let the food waste come.” - Charlie Pioli, Founder of O-Town Compost (with a battle-worn yet determined look on his face)

We’re excited to welcome the residents of zip code 32804 to our expanded service area! The College Park area is an example of how a number of people in the community came together to request food waste collection service, and O-Town Compost listened. It’s much more efficient, environmentally and economically, for O-Town Compost to run a route in an area with a greater client population.

We are hoping to be able to stretch farther in the next year, as we gain traction around Orlando. I have a feeling West Orlando (Winter Gardens, Windermere, Ocoee, etc) will be smelling O-Town Black Gold sometime during 2020.

Compost On Orlando!
