Why Compost?
When food scraps decompose underground in our landfills, the lack of oxygen creates the potent greenhouse gas methane. Instead of throwing food scraps away, help us turn them into something useful!
Fight climate change by reducing greenhouse gas emissions
Reduce landfill growth and promote a cleaner planet
Improve water and soil quality, plus reduce chemical fertilizer use
How it Works
Toss your food scraps in the container we provide.
Place your bin on the sidewalk on your weekly pickup day.
A member of our team will empty the bin and provide a fresh liner.
We process the scraps and share some compost back.
Zero Waste Bags through TerraCycle
Through our partnership with TerraCycle, all members of The Compost Exchange get access to discounted zero waste bags. Zero waste bags make it easy to recycle hard-to-recycle items!
Simply purchase them in your TCE Customer Portal, fill them up, set them out on your service day, and let us take care of the rest! We ship them back to TerraCycle, and they properly recycle the items.
