GREENER BAY COMPOST is proud to host our Pumpkins+ Organics Recycling Event in November of 2024!

In an attempt to prevent as many pumpkins, gourds, corn stalks, and other end-of-the-year-organics and organic décor from ending up in our local landfills as possible, we are offering an easy, clean, convenient way for the communities we serve to sustainably dispose of these nutrient-rich materials, via curbside pickup!

*** SCHEDULED FOR FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8TH, 2024 ***
*** For Residents of Allouez, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, De Pere, Green Bay, Hobart, Howard, Lawrence, Ledgeview, Rockland, and Suamico only. ***

A FEW BENEFITS OF UTILIZING THIS ONE-OF-A-KIND PICKUP SERVICE:
Guaranteed composting or feeding to wildlife of your organic décor Fast, friendly, and efficient service from a five-star-rated, local, family-run business
No waiting, perhaps indefinitely, for your local Municipality to pick up your pumpkins, etc. No need to drive your pumpkins, etc. to your local yard waste site, which may be quite far from you or in an inconvenient location
No need to worry about your pumpkins, etc. rotting on your front steps, porch, or patio and having to clean up the resulting mess Supporting the existence of the only Compost Pickup Service in your area, and the only food-waste-focused compost facility serving Greater Green Bay

WE WILL NOT BE ACCEPTING STRAW/HAY BALES OF ANY SIZE, DUE TO THE RISK OF PERSISTENT HERBICIDE CONTAMINATION, NOR WILL BE BE ACCEPTING ANY INORGANIC MATERIALS, SUCH AS PLASTIC PUMPKINS. THIS EVENT IS FOR THE PURPOSE OF RECYCLING ORGANIC MATERIALS ONLY.

To request pickup of your pumpkins and associated organic décor, please complete and submit the below form:
ALL ITEMS YOU WOULD LIKE US TO REMOVE FROM YOUR PROPERTY MUST BE GROUPED TOGETHER, IN A SAFELY AND EASILY ACCESSIBLE AREA ON YOUR TERRACE/AT THE CURB.
Failure to leave said items in said location for us will result in them being left on your property.
Please do NOT place items inside of bags, boxes, or other types of containers for us (with the exception of Fall leaves, garden waste such as dead tomato plants, dead-headed flowers, pine needles, pine cones, and small twigs, which should be placed inside of plain/matte paper "lawn & leaf" bags, as indicated above) as this may prevent us from determining whether they are acceptable to us and result in us leaving them on your property.
Please provide your first and last name.
Please provide a valid email address we may use to contact and/or invoice you.
Please provide a valid phone number we may use to contact you (preferably a cell phone number we may send text messages to).
Please note: We will only perform pickups in the 11 Municipalities in Brown County that fall within our existing Residential Compost Pickup Service's service area, which are as follows: Allouez, Ashwaubenon, Bellevue, De Pere, Green Bay, Hobart, Howard, Lawrence, Ledgeview, Rockland, and Suamico. If you complete this form and your property is not in one of these Municipalities, we will be unable to provide this service to you at this time.
Please provide any additional information you feel is relevant to your request here.
