Hillside Solutions has made its mark in the Omaha community by providing waste management, recycling, composting, and landfill diversion to reduce waste and promote sustainability.
Now, Hillside has further increased its ability to help in their sustainability mission with the Curbside Composting Club. With this program, homeowners get a painter’s bucket, fill it up, and take it to a drop-off site. Homeowners who sign up for the program qualify to receive 3 square feet of soil back to use in their own gardens. The program has 1,800 homes participating now, and is also offering another level of the club where residents can get home pick-up for their compost.
