***Earthbound announces Organics Only collection***

Earthbound Environmental Solutions, LLC is pleased to announce the recent completion of an organics only collection pilot in the East Hill neighborhood in Eau Claire. The pilot launched following approval of Earthbound's organics only collection curbside container.

This new, first of it’s kind service, will allow residents the ability to purchase Earthbound’s organics recycling services year round while still maintaining their existing hauler for recycling and garbage. Previously to sign up for Earthbound’s services residents needed to sign up for all 3 services of organics recycling, traditional recycling and garbage.

Principal owners, Jamie and Zacharious, remarked of the pilot "we have had a lot of interest in organics only services from community members. We feel that Earthbound is uniquely positioned to partner with the key stakeholders ranging from individual haulers and residents to meet the needs of our community."

Earthbound’s organics only collection services are being offered at $10 a month! Curbside organics only services will be collected on the resident's normal collection day. Residents will be provided a start-up kit, Earthbound compostable bags, a countertop organics bin and a curbside collection container with Earthbound's organics recycling symbol displayed. Additionally curbside subscribers will be allowed two bags of yard waste included in the month price with additional bags only being $2 bucks a bag extra.

Earthbound owners added "we have worked with the local hauling community to develop a system that works well for their operations and the needs of community members wanting to organically recycle with Earthbound. The responses we have received from the hauling community on the pilot has been largely positive."
