Description

The Glen Ellyn Environmental Commission plans to issue an RFP for a community compost drop off program, modeled after Wilmette's pilot which contracted with Waste Not for collection services. Waste Not provides food scrap collection services at $18 per 32-gallon bin per pickup or $35 per 64-gallon bin per pickup, with the program planned as a three to six month pilot. The initiative aims to expand composting options for residents who do not generate enough waste for curbside service.
