We can compost ALL food - even meat, fish, bones, fat. You can also compost certified compostable items and uncoated paper products. Please refer to our handy graphic here.

After signing up, we will provide you with a three gallon kitchen caddy as well as up to two five gallon buckets with lids for pick-up. You can keep the kitchen caddy on your counter and collect your food scraps in it. Once the kitchen caddy is full (the frequency of this depends on the amount of compostables you produce), you will throw the bag in the bucket, which we will come and empty once a week. Your bucket will be lined with a new bag every week, the kitchen caddy you'll equip with a new bag yourself as needed. Kitchen caddy bags can be ordered through our shop in customer portal.

We work exclusively with local community farms to turn your scraps into soil. The whole scrap to soil process takes only 3 months! Our current farm partners are Wild Kid Acres (Edgewater, MD), Langton Green Community Farm (Millersville, MD), and Hollywood Farm (Arnold, MD)

No, it won’t! Our kitchen caddy is designed in a way that allows for maximum ventilation, thus reducing smells to a bare minimum. Once the caddy is full, you can transfer its contents to your bucket – our lids seal tightly and prevent any odors from seeping out. This means you can either keep the bucket in your house or on your balcony or garage. No smell means no unwelcome pests!
