“We are honored to be partnering with the City of Hoboken to grow accessibility to food waste recycling. We believe composting should be available to all and the resulting compost returned to local gardens and green spaces to restore soil and grow food,” said Eileen Banyra, founder of the Community Compost Company.
Residents of Hoboken can utilize the drop spot by registering at hobokennj.gov/compost and taking a quiz to ensure compliance with the composting guidelines. The combination for the locked bins will be available once the quiz is completed. Participants have the opportunity to reduce their household trash by over 50% through composting. The practice also allows you to save money on groceries by limiting wasted food from overbuying.
The following materials are accepted in the composting program: All food including vegetable, fruits, meat and dairy products; coffee grounds; uncoated paper products like coffee filters, paper towels, napkins; and more. See full list at hobokennj.gov/compost.
With the expansion, the City’s full composting program is estimated to avoid 5.6 metric tons of greenhouse gas emissions from traditional waste disposal, which is the equivalent of removing 15 cars from roadways. The expanded composting program is also estimated to save Hoboken taxpayers up to $75,000 a year in garbage disposal fees.
The drop-off composting program has achieved the following, to reduce Hoboken’s carbon footprint:
96,020: Pounds of waste diverted from landfills
42.28: Metric tons of avoided carbon dioxide emissions
2,743: Gallons of gas avoided: 2743.43
60,630: Miles driven offset
The City of Hoboken and Community Compost Company have partnered on composting programs since 2015 to turn food waste destined for the landfill into compost for restoring soils. In partnership with the City, Community Compost Company also provides door-to-door residential and commercial food scrap collection services. The food scraps collected are transported to CCC’s farm in the Hudson Valley where they are recycled into compost and sold through the brand Hudson Soil Company in bags and bulk. Hudson Soil Co. Compost is sold at garden centers and stores such as Whole Foods and in larger quantities to urban and rural farms, home gardeners and stormwater restoration projects.
