And sometimes people say, oh, but aren't you you know, gonna not have a need for them after their city wide residential curbside service.

That question exactly shows the ongoing need for smart composting bins and one of the reasons I think that they're so popular.

Everybody has a different approach that works for them, but we've tried to develop wrap owned services deliberately give people multiple options about how to dispose of that material properly.
