We offer food scrap collection as both regularly scheduled service and for special events.  We can cater a solution based on your needs.

What sets us aside from other trash and food scrap collectors?

- Clean - we swap out clean bins for dirty bins everytime

- Reliable - If we can show up on time and target on the battlefield, you can trust us with your food scraps

- Friendly - We compost with a smile and our phones are on 24/7 if you have an issue

- Trustworthy - We have our own permitted composting sites.  We compost 100% of what we collect, we never landfill your material.

We are proud to offer residential food scrap collection in the DC Metro Area.  We provide 7 or 14 gallon bins and collect them weekly.  Just like our commercial service, you get a clean bin, great customer service, and assurance that your material will be composted responsibly.

This service is great for homes, apartments, condos, office break rooms, and small commercial applications like schools, churches, coffee shops, etc.

For Food Scrap Composting in the DC Metro Area please visit veterancompostindc.com or contact hello@veterancompost.com for more information on our Residential Collection Service.

We offer commercial collection service throughout the Baltimore/Annapolis Metro Area.  We use durable 32 and 64 gallon rollout carts or 20 and 30 yard dumpsters.  Material collection schedules and pricing can be tailored to your specific needs.

Whether your event is large or small, we are happy to help you compost the food scraps from it.

We offer 3 levels of service for Special Events:

Basic Level - You collect up your compostables in clear plastic trash bags.  At the end of the event our drivers collect up the bags and take the material to one of our compost sites.

Intermediate Level - We drop off collection bins prior to the start of your event.  You fill them up with compostables and after the event ends, our drivers pickup the collection bins.

Full Service - Our staff arrives before your event with collection bins.  They monitor the bins throughout the event to ensure that there are no contaminants mixed in with the compostables.  They also educate attendees about the process and answer any questions they may have.  At the end of the event, we collect up the bins and take them to one of our compost facilities.
