What is compostable

Fruit and Vegetable Scraps

All fresh fruit and vegetable scraps are compostable.

Tea and Coffee

Used coffee grounds and paper tea bags are great for composting and add valuable nitrogen.

Garden Waste

Green garden waste is ideal for composting, but avoid large branches or diseased plants.

Paper Products

Only uncoated paper and cardboard should be composted. Avoid glossy or colored paper.

Food Scraps (No meat or dairy)

These items are compostable but avoid oily or spiced foods as they attract pests and decompose slowly.

Yard Trimmings

These items are compostable but may take longer to break down. Shredding them first helps.

Natural Fibers

Natural fibers like cotton and wool can be composted. Ensure they are not dyed or treated with chemicals.

How it works

We offer weekly collection of your Gooi waste with two subscription models. Standard, which covers the average small household and accommodates up to two 5L bags of kitchen scraps per week. Bigger families, or just a very avid juicer, may need to move up to the XL package. With this model you can fill a 25L bucket each week! Keep the 5L bucket on your countertop, and when it's full gooi it in the 25L bucket kept in a cool place. When Alfred comes passed he will replace your big bucket with an empty clean one.
