Compost on your own schedule

Food Scrap Drop-off Hubs are a convenient, low-cost alternative to curbside pickups for households to transform kitchen waste into nutrient-rich compost. Drop-off as often as you need, with a network of locations in Massachusetts and (coming soon) Rhode Island.

For just $12.50 per month, you’ll get full access to our network of drop-off locations, including free finished compost, and seasonal services like pumpkins and Christmas trees pickup.

Please note: Some drop-off hubs are BigBelly "smart bins" that require an app to access. (Don't worry — It's so simple and we'll walk you through it so you can drop-off your food scraps easily, as-needed.)

What exactly can you drop-off? Please visit our FAQ page for a full breakdown of accepted materials. (Spoiler: All food scraps including meat and dairy.)

We're aiming to GROW our constellation of Drop-Off Hubs, and we're seeking partners to host them. Could be private or public property — Anywhere that's convenient, accessible, and aligned with our goal of expanded options for composting.

Cities/towns, businesses, apartment buildings, office parks, grocery stores, community centers, libraries, etc. Let's talk!
