Please be sure to reach out to us at info@compostnashville.org or dm us on Instagram for confirmation if you are unsure whether an item belongs in your compost bin.

How do I reduce the odor coming from my compost container?

While our bins have tight seals and are swapped with clean ones at every pick up, they may produce an odor over time when opened. You can reduce the number of times you need to open the bin by investing in a smaller countertop compost container. Also, consider the following tips:

• Add paper waste to your bin (paper towels, napkins, etc)

• If you don’t already, keep your container inside in the air conditioning or outside in the winter

• Occasionally, sprinkle a little baking soda into your bin to neutralize the odor

My container is damaged or has gone missing! How do I get a new one?

Email us at info@compostnashville.org and we will be happy to deliver you a new container at your next pickup. Until you receive your new container, feel free to gather your compost materials in another receptacle, such as a paper grocery bag.

Where do I keep my compost bucket between pick up days?

We recommend you keep your container outside during winter months and inside during Summer months. Keeping the container cool will significantly reduce any potential smell and avoid accelerating the process of decomposition. Our containers fit easily under most kitchen sinks, but you are welcome to keep the container anywhere you like.

Where do I place my bucket on pickup day?

When we first drop off your bin, we will take a picture of its location and send it to you via email. We request that the bin be placed in the same location it was delivered to ensure seamless service. This location is likely at the end of your driveway near the street or on the curb. If you have any special instructions or requirements for your bin pick up location, please let us know at sign up or email info@compostnashville.org

It appears my container was not picked up today. What should I do?

Then select the “missed pick up” form and we will do our best to collect your compost within the next 2 business days. If your container wasn’t out during your pickup day and time frame, we cannot guarantee to collect your pick up, but we’re happy to provide helpful tips to get you through the week!

I forgot to set out my container today. What should I do?

While we can't guarantee we will be able to pick up your bin, we do have some helpful tips to help until your next pick up

• If your container isn’t full, you might be able to make it another week no problem.

• If your container is full, you can collect the coming week’s compostable waste in a different receptacle. A lot of customers have used a brown paper grocery sack for this and had success!

• If you have freezer space, you could store the older material there to keep it from getting unpleasantly smelly.

Does Compost Nashville have a drop-off location?

We do not currently have a location where people can drop off compost. We hope to have a location where people can bring us material in the future.
