Compost Program Statistics

In 2009, our friends at Cayuga Compost diverted and compost over 6,788,000 pounds of waste generated in our community.

Of that 6 million pounds, here's how Gimme contributed to that:

Cayuga Street: 21,965 pounds
State Street: 19,470 pounds
East Shore: 4185 pounds
Green Street: 1040 pounds
Trumansburg: 740 pounds
Krum's Roasting Facility: 486 pounds
*note not all locations have been composting for the same length of time

That's almost 48,000 pounds (24 tons) we diverted from the landfill in 2009!!!

To learn more about how this happens, read my compost blog from last year.

Thanks to all of our dedicated customers and staff who helped us achieve such astounding results.
