How it works

Set your full bucket outside on Your pick-up day so that your bag gets picked up between 8am and 6pm.

Throughout the week, collect your food waste in your provided bag and bucket(s). Refer to the list below to learn what you can and cannot compost!

 

Your food waste is taken to an area farm to either be feed or be hand-mixed with wood chips, turned and watered (3-4 month natural process).

 

The finished compost is ready for that farm to use to enrich their soils!

 

"We don't produce enough compost to start our own bin, so it's nice to be able to make sure our scraps don't go to waste. The weekly pick up is great, and you can throw just about anything natural in there! And since we've stopped throwing stinky stuff in the garbage it goes out a lot less. We now produce less than one bag of garbage per week. Thanks for helping to save the planet!"
