What we do

Curbside Compost is a recycling program which picks up food scraps and delivers compost in Connecticut and New York. Food is the single largest item in the trash. With your support, we help produce soil amendment, lessen landfilled or incinerated food scraps and prevent the production of more landfill ash. With your help, we leverage earth's oldest process of recycling.

We collect all food remains, including meat, bones and dairy from homes, drop off centers, schools, offices, markets, restaurants and events for composting. Our programs are easy, convenient and we’ll deliver a clean pail to you every week!

Great folks doing something good for the environment! Best parts are how easy and inexpensive the service is and how much food waste I've taken out of my trash. And their mulch is great too!

Highly recommend. This is a great service for people who understand the benefits of composting but don't have what it takes to do it themselves at home. Friendly, professional, and reliable people.
