When Schmelly’s Dirt Farm provided full composting services for two College Football Playoff venues, there was never a question that the job would be completed professionally and with an understanding of an event environment. From the first planning steps to removal of the last roll-off their team closely communicated with Kilowatt One to assure a seamless operation. They offered detailed guidance for acceptable service ware and were prepared to accommodate adjustments to the schedule. The Schmelly’s team stays up-to-date on best practices, looks to innovate new programs in the community, and are leaders in this space.

Instituting composting at a big special event like the AZA conference was a complex task that involved many hands and cooperation across departments. Schmelly’s provided invaluable customer service that allowed us the make sure we had tight systems in place for every step of the process, from selecting the right compostable serviceware to thinking through day-of logistics.

Between the helpful guidance from Schmelly’s staff and having all hands on deck within our internal teams, we successfully diverted over 2.5 tons of waste from the landfill. This was a big sustainability victory for our organization this year!

We’ve been composting since the first day of being open, for over six years. It is important for us: our customers value that and it sets the right tone for our new coworkers. After our original composting company became unreliable, we switched to Schmelly’s. We are very satisfied with their service – the pickups are on time; the communication around special events/holidays are on point; and, when we have any questions or requests, they are quick to get back to us. Having Schmelly’s as a partner is one of the easiest part of running my business!
