Let's be real - if you want to know what it's like to compost with Growing City, you gotta ask our clients.  So we did!  Here's what they had to say:

“I work with a lot of commercial Landlords on programs to engage their tenants in green behaviour, and organics recycling is something I’ve been investigating for a few years. We’d never been able to find the perfect solution until now with Growing City. Other companies simply provide the bin and expect tenants to service it themselves, or they want the Landlord to provide a centralized pick up area and have the janitorial staff collect the materials and service the bins. Growing City is the full service solution; they drop off the clean, professional looking bin to your kitchen area, pick up the compostable material weekly, clean the bin and replace the biodegradable liner.  It’s a no fuss solution that’s ideally suited to the commercial real estate environment and the tenants we’ve introduced to Growing City are loving it!”

"...your friendly pickup service and clean, easy to use bins really reduce any barriers to composting...your service is so easy I’d say (in a less enviro-friendly office) it could convince some previous non-composters to start composting at home!"

- Colleen Hamilton, Offsetters

"People are really starting to understand composting.  Levels of waste in the office have reduced...(staff) really enjoy being able to compost in the office.  I think people appreciate an easy opportunity to be a bit more sustainable."

"Everyone, including clients, thinks (composting with Growing City) is great!  I absolutely love it!  So far, you two have been one of the most reliable and consistent companies that we've had the pleasure of working with.  Honestly, I am incredibly happy that growing city exists. You are a dream come true in an area that we were attempting to improve in. You made our improvements possible! Without you, we would still have stinky garbage that would have been better served elsewhere. Growing city brings our waste diversion from 77% to well over 80%!"

- Jen Vanderleij, Co-founder, Clover Earthkind Hair Salon
