A Pilot by glitter & bennett compost
Share a compost bin with your neighbors
We are thrilled to be testing out a new service: compost! Powered by Glitter’s neighbor-funded model, and Bennett’s expertise in composting, neighbors on select pilot blocks can opt in to access a shared compost bin.
For $150 per bin per month, neighbors can split the cost and drop off food scraps anytime.
The bin is secured and is replaced with a fresh bin every week by our trusted local partner Bennett Compost.
Simple. Local. Community-powered.
What is the pilot for?
This is a block-level composting pilot.
Instead of each home having separate pickup, neighbors share one secured public compost bin.
Bennett Compost swaps it weekly, taking the full bin and leaving a clean, empty bin. Glitter manages signups and communication.
This is designed to offer:
Flexible costs for customers (neighbors are splitting the $150 a month per bin cost, each neighbor choosing how much to contribute)
Reduce number of vehicle stops per block
Increase neighborhood participation
Make composting visible and accessible
Design, pricing, and everything else is all subject to change as we get feedback from neighbors like you!
HOW the glitter & bennett compost pilot WORKS
-
neighbors sign-up
Each household on the block chooses if they want to participate in and pay for the service.
-
Bin INstalled
A secured compost bin is installed in a convenient place outside a participating home on the block.
-
Drop Scraps
You’ll receive a lock code and can drop off scraps anytime into the bin, no need to wait or hold them inside.
-
Weekly Refresh
Bennett empties the bin and swaps it out weekly, taking the full bin and leaving a clean, empty bin to keep things smelling good.
