Food Scrap Pick-Up Service

Want to do your part?
We’re here to help.

We’ll compost your food scraps and give you rich vermicompost in return.

What You’ll Get

Every 8 pickups we will drop off a complimentary 1 liter bag of our premium vermicompost valued at $10. Use it to nourish your houseplants, yard, or garden. A cup per plant 2-4 times a year is all you need. You can opt to donate it to the community gardens that we partner with: the Other Way Community Garden, Freedom School, Cook Library Center Community Garden, Dwelling Place Community Garden, Our Kitchen Table.

Food Scrap Collection

As soon as you sign up for our pickup service we will provide you with a collection bucket, either 5 gal or 3.5 gal depending on what you choose. Most households fill 3.5 gal once a week. The bucket will have a biodegradable lining to keep it clean that will be replaced along with the bucket at every pickup.

You will also receive a list of compostables and non-compostables for our type of operation. We will send you a Paypal link to signup for monthly auto payments. You will be assigned to one of our routes and we’ll let you know your pickup day.
