RESIDENTIAL CURBSIDE PICKUPS
Making Dirt for Mother Earth
Participate in compost pickups and return food scraps and other organic material to the soil to be reused. You can compost much more with us than a backyard pile, like meat, bones, napkins, cheese, lobster shells, etc. Check out our special deals at the bottom of the page.
We Make It As Easy As 1, 2, 3
- Line your curbside bin or kitchen container and fill it with meat, dairy, bones, napkins, paper towels, and more. Here's the full list of what's compostable.
2. Place your bin on the curb by 6 AM or the night before. We will swing by and empty the bin. We'll also drop off compostable bags ordered through your online account. Use your online account to access your ecological impact, view town compost stats, manage payments, and more.
3. Get compost in the spring. You will receive a voucher for a bag of finished compost, redeemable at participating Garden Centers, or you can donate your portion to Backyard Growers.
(excl. Ipswich, Watertown, Manchester & Groton)
