Composting worms are really good at what they do!
Composting worms eat half their weigh daily and so a family of four using a composting unit can turn over 250 lbs. of organic 'garbage' into wonderful compost for a garden or house plants. One-third of the solid waste you generate around your home is compostable.
Our customers have purchased over 300 tire swings and doormats!
This means that over 300 tires (and tire rubber lasts forever) have been diverted from our landfills!
Our customers have purchased over 4000 refills of Down East cleaning supplies!
This means that they have saved over $7000 (because refills are cheaper) and have diverted 4000 plastic containers from our landfills! Because these cleaners are also non-toxic and biodegradable, they are not environmentally dangerous.

For every tonne of paper made from waste paper, we generate 74% less air pollution and 35% less water pollution. We also save 17 pulp trees, 7000 gallons of water, and 3.3 cubic yards of space in landfills.
