New $15/month Residential Compost Pickup & Drop-Off Services debuting January 1st, 2023

As a follow-up to our “Price Changes” announcement from yesterday, we are happy to announce that, effective January 1st, 2023, we will be debuting new, Once-a-Month versions of our Residential Compost Pickup and Drop-Off Services, so that we can continue to provide service to Residential subscribers who are unable to pay more than $15.00/month for our services.

These new services will see us perform just one Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup for subscribers to them per month, for just $15.00/month.

We believe that many of our current subscribers may be a good fit for these new plans, especially those whose households routinely produce less than 10 pounds of organic waste each week.

That said, if you reside in a household that produces, on average, 15-20+ pounds of waste each week, we highly recommend sticking with one of our $20/month services (either our Residential Compost Pickup Service, or our Residential Compost Drop-Off Service) going into the new year, as for just $5 extra per month, you will be entitled to at least two Bucket Swap/Compost Pickups each month under these plans.

If you would like to switch, as January of 2023 (or whenever your first renewal date will be in the new year) to one of these new, less expensive plans, all you need to do is contact us using any of the contact methods available at www.GBCompost.com/Contact to let us know that you would like to make the switch and we will set up the switch to occur automatically and coordinate your new Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup schedule with you as we get closer to your transition date.

Please note: Our Add-a-Bucket option will be available to subscribers of either of these new plans, at the same price as they will be to all other Residential subscribers, which is $12.50/month, per bucket. Also, If you are currently signed up for email reminders with us, you will continue to receive email reminders from us on the day prior to your monthly Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup days under this new plan.

If you have any questions about these new plans, you may contact us using any of the contact methods available at www.GBCompost.com/Contact.

Until next time, best wishes and happy composting!

Price changes coming January 1st, 2023

Effective January 1st, 2023, we will be implementing modest price increases across our suite of services, to account for increased operational costs and ensure the profitability of Greener Bay Compost.

The Residential price increases will be as follows:

• Our Residential Compost Pickup Service will increase from $15 to $20/month.
• Our Residential Compost Drop-Off Service will increase from $15 to $20/month.
• Our Residential Add-A-Bucket option will increase from $10 to $12.50/month, per bucket.
• Our Residential “Special, One-Time Bucket Swaps” will increase from $7.50 to $10/swap.
• Our Residential “Make-Up Bucket Swaps” will increase from $5 to $6.50/swap.

The Commercial (Small Business) price increases will be as follows:

• Our Small Business Compost Pickup Service (2 buckets per week) will increase from $60 to $70/month.
• Our Small Business Compost Pickup Service (3 buckets per week) will increase from $70 to $85/month.
• Our Small Business Compost Pickup Service (4 buckets per week) will increase from $80 to $100/month.
• Our Small Business Add-a-Bucket option will increase from $10 to $15/month, per bucket.

What this means for you

When your service with us renews, on or after January 1st, 2023, your service will be automatically renewed at our new prices, as detailed above, unless you contact us prior to said price increases taking effect to make changes to your service.

Please note: For subscribers who are still in the midst of a Six-Months-Paid-in-Full plan term, our new prices will take effect at the end of said term, whenever that may be, when they are transitioned to a Month-to-Month payment plan (which we have previously indicated such subscribers would be, in an email from this past July).

If you have any questions or concerns about these price changes or anything else, you may contact us using any of the contact methods available at www.GBCompost.com/Contact.

Thank you for your continued support and for helping us make Green Bay a little greener every day! We love and appreciate you very much.

Until next time, best wishes and happy composting!

Major upgrades to our Rewards Programs for subscribers!

Effective immediately, we have made two major upgrades to the rewards programs we offer our subscribers (www.GBCompost.com/Rewards):

1. We have doubled the discount we offer all subscribers on our compost (including our gallon-sized and cubic foot bags) from 10% to 20%.
   
   What this means for you:  You can now get compost at “bulk discount”-like pricing on as few or as many bags of our product as you would like, exclusively at GBCompost.com/Compost!

   To put this into perspective, this means a single cubic foot bag can be had for $23.99 and a gallon-sized bag can be had for $4.80! These prices, for the record, are actually better than the Black Friday deals we just announced to the general public this morning on social media.

   (Please note: Subscribers are allowed to use this discount to buy compost on behalf of anyone else they’d like to, including friends and family, with the catch being that they, themselves, must be the ones placing the order/making the compost request.)

2. We have relaunched our old Referral Rewards Program, which rewards existing subscribers for referring new subscribers to us with bags of compost!
   
   What this means for you: For every new subscriber you refer to us, as long as  they list you (our subscriber) by name in the “Referred by” section of their subscription sign-up page, you will earn a free one-gallon bag of our compost!

   We intend to deliver these earned bags of compost inside of our five gallon buckets on regularly scheduled Bucket Swap/Compost Pickup days, unless a subscriber would like their compost earlier, in which case we may meet them at the Green Bay Plaza in west Green Bay, on a date and a time that works well for us both, to deliver the compost.

   Please note that as part of this relaunch, we are discontinuing our Partner Program (which has not actually resulted in a single referral to us since its launch several months ago), and rendering any coupon/referral codes created under said program void, effectively immediately.

If you have any questions or concerns about these reward program upgrades, please let us know by using any of the contact methods available at www.GBCompost.com/Contact.
