How do contamination fees work? OR Why did I receive a contamination fee?We send a contamination fee to our commercial subscribers when there is an excess of contamination in your organic matter, i.e. produce stickers, rubber bands, plastic, or other non-organic materials. We sort through the material by hand to remove any non-organic matter. Our finished compost is used to grow food, so please be mindful and remove all non-organic material before placing items in your compost container to avoid a contamination fee.
