How it works
1. Add 5 Gal Compost Pickup or 2 Gal Compost Pickup service to your bundle and receive a clean 2 or 5 Gal bucket on your next refill day.
We will deliver your bucket together with your bundle - in a carbon free way!
2. Put your household food waste into the bucket.
No bags please; We accept the majority of the food waste, except for meat scraps, bones and dairy. Scroll down for the full list of do’s and don’ts.
3. Make sure you have "2/5 Gal Compost Pickup" service in your bundle and leave your full bucket outside in the morning on your refill day.
We will replace your full bucket with a clean one.
