How it Works
Composting is rewarding, but can be difficult to do on your own. We do all of the work, and you’re the one making it possible! Plus, because of our scale we can compost items that aren’t recommended for home composters, like meat and bones.
Curbside Compost works with residents, schools, restaurants, businesses and events. Please reach out so we can pick up your leftovers.

We deliver your pail and lid on your designated collection day. The pail is 5-gallons and is 16" tall by 14" wide.
Most participants keep their pail in the garage, under a sink, in a cabinet, closet, kitchen or balcony.

Leave your filled pail with the week's food scraps at the end of or on your driveway by 8:00 AM on your designated pick-up day and we will replace it with a clean one.
If you live in a town that doesn't allow for waste to be left at the end of your driveway, we have to pick up your pail by your home (not on the curb).
If you would like us to pick up the container on your property we can do that.
We run collections until 7:00 PM each day.
