Black Earth Compost was founded in January 2011, in Gloucester, MA. Originally a one man, one truck, Cape Ann company, it has steadily grown to become the leading full service compost company in New England. With over 40 trucks and 4 compost facilities, we are dedicated to collecting food scraps from residents, schools, supermarkets, colleges, and more, all across New England. We are also the only vertically integrated company that composts the material too, returning it to customers, farms and selling it in garden centers throughout New England. Whatever your organic waste collection or garden soil needs, we are your one stop shop.

Watch how far we've come in "Beneath the Surface". 1623 Studios tells the story of our team and the community connections that make our mission possible.
