Enjoy some tasty food, when you're done, put your food scraps in one of our bins or dumpsters

We'll pick up your food scraps in one of our shiny trucks and take it to one of our permitted compost facilities

We will mix your food scraps with wood chips, place it in large aerated piles, and let things compost for 4-6 weeks

After active composting is complete, we screen the compost, and then let it cure for 2-6 months as it keeps breaking down.

We end up with organic compost that's ready for your farm, garden, lawn or landscape

COVID UPDATE - We are running our collection routes and facilities as scheduled. We are still accepting product orders and delivering materials. We hope that everyone stays safe and are working to keep our staff healthy and fully employed throughout this challenging time
