Pricing
You pay $25.00 a bucket, with a minimum of $75.00 per pickup in Brooklyn and $100.00 per pick up in Manhattan to cover the costs of sending an emissions free vehicle and Earth steward driver to your door. Charged per pickup, with no subscription and no monthly minimum. New York sales tax is added at billing.
The rate is the same at every count. Twenty-five buckets is twenty-five times $25, and a larger stop simply spreads the minimum thinner.
| 6 buckets ($25 each) | $150.00 |
| Sales tax | $13.31 |
| Per pickup | $163.31 |
About 150 lbs per pickup at an estimated 25 lbs a bucket. You are charged per pickup. There is no monthly minimum and no subscription.
Per pickup
The last column is the argument for consolidating onto one larger stop instead of splitting across days.

Rates exclude New York sales tax at 8.875%, which is added when you are billed. Six buckets in Brooklyn is $163.31 all in.
| Bucket replacement Per bucket not returned when service ends, or returned damaged beyond use. No deposit is taken: nothing is charged at signup. | $10.00 |
| Readiness surcharge For the affected day. First incident always waived. | $75.00 |
| Per-floor collection Optional, for a building. Per floor per pickup, where we collect floor by floor instead of from one staging point. | $10.00 |
| Referral credit Every account has a referral link. A business that joins through it gets this off its first pickup, and so do you, on your next. | −$25.00 |
| Weekly | Default for anything producing food waste. |
| Bi-weekly | Offices and low-volume kitchens. |
| Monthly | Available at any bucket count. Above about 4 we suggest bi-weekly instead, because four weeks of that much food in a bucket can attract pests. |
| One-off | Events and anything else that happens once. No route day, arranged for the date and quoted on its own. |
Events
A one-off stop is not a route stop, so it is priced on its own.
Events are quoted, because a one-off stop is not a route stop. The quote has three parts: a flat fee for taking the van off route to your date, $25.00 a bucket for what we collect, and an hourly rate per steward if you want the bins staffed. Tax shown on the quote. See how event service works.
