Mr. Fox Composting Service Contract for Residential Subscribers

Thank you for your interest in Mr. Fox Composting! Our mission is to collect and divert organic material from landfills and incinerators, thereby creating a valuable resource for the local food community in the form of nutrient-rich compost. We aim to give local residents a means to harness the power of organic scraps; to give back to the community what we borrow from the community; to have fun, and to enjoy work. We strive to provide you with the best possible service and are committed to subscriber satisfaction. The following terms are meant to help us meet those goals and to ensure that everyone is on the same page.
