SAN FRANCISCO, Feb. 7, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Clean Composting Company, the creator of the world's first tossable and fully compostable bin, The Compost Collector™, that makes composting clean, easy, and affordable is now available nationwide. This comes at a time when extreme weather crises caused by global warming continue to make global headlines, shifting consumer and government attention to sustainability and reduction of greenhouse gas emissions. As a result, hundreds of cities across the U.S. already have or are in the process of enacting government composting mandates, with fines that can be imposed on residents and property managers that started on January 1, 2024. California is the current leader in the nation's composting efforts, with SB 1383 being the most significant mandate of its kind to reduce organics waste landfill disposal by 20 million tons–up to 75% by 2025. Since its passing, hundreds of cities nationwide have followed suit, as improper disposal of food waste is a problem that makes up nearly 20% of our landfills. Although a previous study showed that 67% of those surveyed agreed with the enormous benefits of composting to save the environment, few people are actually composting on a regular basis. In fact, the most recent report by the EPA showed that rates of recycling (including composting) have decreased while the number of mandates has increased.

Key Points: 
  • Since its passing, hundreds of cities nationwide have followed suit, as improper disposal of food waste is a problem that makes up nearly 20% of our landfills.
  • In fact, the most recent report by the EPA showed that rates of recycling (including composting) have decreased while the number of mandates has increased.
  • By the end of 2024, each subscription will result in a matching donation to a member of an underserved community to help them stay in compliance with composting laws.
