Our Goals for the Future

Thanks to your support, we diverted over 3 million pounds of compostable waste from landfills in 2023.

This amazing accomplishment is a testament to the power of community action and the dedication of our partners: Waste Free Society Inc, Home Grown, Country Farm Services, and Growers Best Organics.

Now, we’re setting our sights even higher! Our goal is to reach 4 million pounds of waste diverted annually. Join us on this journey through donations or volunteering. Your support makes all the difference.

We'll send you free compost in exchange for your contribution. Amateur gardeners rejoice-- studies show compost can improve crop yields by nearly 40%!

We're a nonprofit, which means we rely on community donors and volunteers to bring our project to life. Come support our mission!

Reviews

With hundreds of happy customers, we know you’ll be satisfied with out services!

I love that 2x a month I can put out my food scraps in a 5 gallon bucket, that they provide, and reduce the amount of waste I send to the landfill. And my plants love the monthly compost I get in return.
