We will be introducing a new follow up service to accompany our pre-existing backyard composting program called the “Compost Care Program”.

The Compost Care Program will give residents who are experiencing issues with the composting process or their backyard compost bin the opportunity to schedule an appointment with one of our Compost Care Technicians, a/k/a our “Compost Doctors”.

At the appointment, the Compost Dr. will perform an in-person evaluation of the resident’s compost bin and diagnose and remedy issues such as bad odors, excessive bugs, issues with pH temperature, compost production and the quality of the finished compost.

At the appointment, participants will have the opportunity to ask the Compost Dr. any and all questions about composting and their Earth Machine bin.

This service will be provided completely free of charge to all participants in the City of Albany’s backyard composting program.

In the coming months we will have more information regarding how to sign-up for a “Compost Dr.” appointment.

Please check back for more details!
