🌱 GREEN THUMBS RECYCLING — WE'RE STILL OPEN! 🌱

Our website is temporarily down while we build our new one, but compost deliveries are still running. Ordering is easy — just text us the form below.

🪣 BARREL OF COMPOST
Living compost delivered right to you in a 55-gallon barrel. Our community gathers food scraps, our partners at Growers Best Organics compost them, and a share comes back to Green Thumbs to support the program. All our barrels are food-grade 55-gallon drums, reused again and again to keep them out of the landfill.

💲 PRICING
• $45 per barrel of compost + tax
• $60 per barrel of garden mix from Growers Best Organics + tax
• $20 refundable deposit per barrel
• First week of barrel rental included, then $1 per barrel per day (max $5 per week)
• 💵 5% off your barrels when you pay cash at delivery
• Delivery covers up to 5 barrels (+$5 each additional):
$25 — San Tan Valley, Queen Creek, Gilbert, Florence, Coolidge, Apache Junction
$35 — Chandler, Mesa
$50 — Tempe, Gold Canyon, Maricopa, Casa Grande, south Scottsdale
$65 — Phoenix, central & north Scottsdale, Fountain Hills
• Farther out? Send your order anyway — we're expanding and will quote your delivery.

🚚 HOW DELIVERY WORKS
We schedule deliveries and pickups within about a week so we can route efficiently. No need to be home — just tell us where to place the barrels. If you'd like to be home, give us a couple of dates and AM or PM and we'll do our best to match one.

♻️ WHEN YOU'RE DONE
Text us "READY FOR PICKUP" when your barrels are empty, with any pickup instructions. Rental stops the day you text us. Your deposit is refunded once the barrels come back empty, trash-free and undamaged, minus any rental owed.

📋 THE FINE PRINT
• Barrels are delivered to the curb at no extra charge. As a courtesy, our powered barrel mover can often place them right where you want them. It handles some gravel, grass and slopes, and needs a path about 2 feet wide. We'll do what we can, but no guarantees. Our driver makes the final call on what's safe.
• Please tell us about sprinkler lines, soft ground or fragile surfaces. We're not responsible for damage to driveways, landscaping, irrigation or property during delivery or pickup.
• Not home? We'll place barrels where you asked, or at the closest safe spot.
• Barrels are Green Thumbs property. Return them empty, trash-free and undamaged for your deposit back.
• Replying YES to your quote means you agree to our full Delivery Terms, pinned at the top of our page.

💚 Our crew works hard to get your barrels right where you need them. Tips are never expected, but always appreciated!

🌎 COMING SOON with our new website: memberships and new neighborhood hub locations for food scrap drop-off. Already a member? Just let us know on your order.

📲 TO ORDER: Copy the form below, fill it in, and TEXT it to (480) 613-7520 or send it in a PRIVATE Facebook message. Please don't post your address in the comments. We'll reply with your total and delivery window.

Please don't send card numbers by text or message. We'll send a secure Square invoice, take payment over the phone, or you can pay cash on delivery.

🌍✨ Join Us in the Fight Against Food Waste!✨🌱

At Green Thumb, we believe that every piece of food waste holds the potential to heal our planet. As a nonprofit dedicated to educating our community, we want to shed light on the urgent need for effective food waste relocation.

Did you know that food waste contributes significantly to greenhouse gas emissions? When organic materials end up in landfills, they decompose anaerobically, releasing methane—a potent greenhouse gas. But that's not all; our landfills are also becoming contaminated, leading to unhealthy soils that can poison our Earth. The alarming rate of erosion and degradation of our natural resources is a wake-up call we can't ignore.

By partnering with local farmers, Green Thumb is on a mission to transform food waste into a valuable resource. Our efforts focus on:

🌾 Repurposing Food Waste
We collect food scraps and redirect them to farms, where they can be used to feed livestock or composted to create nutrient-rich soil. This process not only nourishes our soil but also promotes sustainable farming practices.

🌱 Educating Our Community
We are committed to raising awareness about the importance of proper food waste management. Through workshops, events, and outreach programs, we empower community members to adopt better composting and separating methods.

🌍 Creating a Healthier Planet
Our collective efforts can lead to healthier soils, reduced emissions, and a thriving ecosystem. By working together, we can make a significant impact on our environment and support local agriculture.

Join us in our mission to combat food waste and protect our planet for future generations. Together, we can cultivate a sustainable future—one compost pile at a time! 🌿💚

Importance of Relocating Waste: 🌱Did you know that a staggering **40% of the food produced in the U.S. is wasted**? This not only squanders precious resources but also contributes significantly to landfill overflow. As we continue to grapple with growing waste management challenges, it’s crucial to rethink our approach — especially regarding food waste.By redirecting food waste from landfills to farms and animal feed, we can create a ripple effect of positive change. Here’s how 1. **Reducing Landfill Waste**: When food waste decomposes in landfills, it produces methane, a greenhouse gas that is **25 times more potent than carbon dioxide**. By relocating this waste, we can dramatically reduce our carbon footprint. 2. **Enhancing Soil Quality**: Composting food waste enriches the soil, helping to improve soil structure, increase water retention, and promote healthier plant growth. Healthy soil is key to maintaining biodiversity and combatting erosion. 3. **Sustaining Animal Life**: Redirecting food waste to farms can provide valuable nutrients to livestock, rehabilitating animals and supporting local agriculture. This not only helps farmers but also leads to more sustainable animal husbandry practices. 4. **Cost-Effective Solutions**: By converting waste into resources, we can lower food costs for consumers and provide farmers with affordable feed options. This creates a more resilient food system that benefits everyone. 5. **Environmental Impact**: Reducing food waste is one of the most effective ways to combat climate change. By altering our distribution methods, we foster a more sustainable relationship with our environment.In conclusion, relocating waste from landfills is not just beneficial; it’s essential for a sustainable future. Let’s work together to make smart, impactful changes that promote a healthier planet, enhance agricultural practices, and support our communities. 💚Join the movement and advocate for better waste management solutions today!
