Residential and commercial composting made easy.

Simply collect your compost in a bin or your freezer, and bring it to a bin on the curb once a week.

Benefits

Passive

Composting becomes as simple as separating food waste, and carrying it out to the bin for weekly pickup.

Multiple materials

As described in more detail below, Waste to Energy Lincoln can even accept raw meats, dairy, and composable plastics.

Simple

All it takes is a phone call to set up compost pickup at your home.

More information

Industrial composting facility

Compost that is picked up through this system is then handled by an industrial composting company – meaning they can accept more materials than a traditional backyard composting setup. This includes materials such as raw meats and dairy (which can contaminate traditional compost), as well as certified compostable plastics!

Rates

As of July 2021, composting pickup by Uribe Refuse is $15 for standalone service, and $8 when paired with recycling and/or garbage pickup. When you sign up for service, you will be provided with a pickup container and a countertop compost bin at no cost.
