We're on a mission to transform how communities handle organic waste – one pickup at a time.

Bootstrap Compost is a leading compost pickup service operating throughout Greater Boston, the Merrimack Valley, Worcester, Rhode Island and Hudson, N.Y.
Partnering with local farms, Bootstrap diverts thousands of pounds of organic material from landfills every day. As a result, we are harnessing the potential of organic refuse to redefine and empower a local food community. Our farms benefit from our compost in the production of crops while each Bootstrap subscriber receives a portion of black gold for their own gardening projects. Remaining compost is donated to schools and community gardens. We consider it thoughtful, sustainable and community-engineered composting.
