People work at Compost Now because we give people the benefit of the doubt, we strive for operational excellence, and we treat people as adults.

A quote from an Onsite Operations team member: “I would describe Compost Now's work culture as a pretty employee-centered company, concerned and interested in the people that work for them. I think Compost Now puts a lot of effort into making people feel valued. The pay was very supportive as a living wage. The way that Managers make it clear that they always have time to hear what you want to say, it definitely goes down as one of the places that I’ve gotten to work at where the employer doesn’t just care about their bottom line, which was really nice.”

A healthy ecosystem is comprised of a diversity of organisms. At Compost Now we strive to create a healthy system that clearly expresses our values, identity, and purpose. We believe that we will accomplish this through having a diverse team, focusing on the fundamentals of creating a good company where everyone feels welcome, seen, safe, heard, and appreciated.

It is the policy of Compost Now to encourage diversity and inclusiveness in all of its operational and corporate pursuits. This includes employing individuals who may speak a language other than English as their primary means of communication. However, there are specific circumstances when the company requires that its employees converse in English. This requirement supports our commitment to employee safety.

Circumstances include receiving training, conversing with members, participating in Supervisory one‑on‑ones and team meetings, and responding to direction in emergency situations. For these reasons, English proficiency is required for the safe and effective execution of job duties within the company and is assessed throughout the application process.
