We’re Creating Nutrient-Rich Compost from Food Waste!

Curbside Food Waste Collection

When you sign up with us, we will provide you with a 5 gallon curbside collection bucket and lid. Keep the curbside collection bucket in a cool and dry place (i.e., garage).

As you go about your day, scrape your food waste into a “scrap keeper”. These countertop or undersink bins are available online and at most home improvement stores. They come in 1-2 gallon sizes, some with carbon filters for odor control, offering a convenient way to collect food scraps daily

Once the scrap keeper is full, transfer the food waste into a paper bag and place in the curbside collection bucket. Paper bags will help absorb moisture and reduce odor between pickups. Ensure the lid is secured/closed to reduce the risk of pests and rodents.

On collection day, place the curbside collection bucket with its lid by the curb. We pick up food scraps once per week; which day of the week will be based on your address.

Types of Food Waste

All waste must be free of contaminants, trash, packaging, stickers, plastic, or any other inorganic material. Your food waste will be turned into nutrient-rich compost used in organic gardening and to amend soils. Help us to keep our compost clean and healthy!
