Like recycling, just separate your compostables and put them in your bin. On your assigned day, we pick it up from a designated outdoor location at your home.

Composting

We exchange your full bin with a clean one and deliver your food scraps to our nonprofit partner, LA Compost, who works their magic.

Croplands

Compost made at our partner farms is redistributed back to the community. As a Compostable subscriber, you are the first stage in the pipeline.
