KEEP YOUR FOOD WASTE OUT OF LANDFILLS, WITH NO WORK FROM YOU
Fill your bucket with banana peels, apple cores, and the end of the onions. We pick up the food waste from your doorstep, take it to be composted, and leave your bucket fresh and clean, as often as every week. It's like planet-saving magic.

Progress; not Perfection.
THE PLANET NEEDS CHANGED BEHAVIOR
More than 90% of food waste doesn't decompose properly, because in landfills, food scraps that are deep in piles of trash don't get the oxygen needed to decompose naturally.
Without oxygen, food decomposes anaerobically, which releases methane gas in the the environment. As most of us know, that's one of those greenhouse gases you hear about that's contributing to global warming.
​
How many of us just said "well, food is biodegradable" and thought that was enough?
Most of us did. It's simply not true.
Now we know better.
DOING IT YOURSELF IS A PROCESS
Honestly, it's long, hard, and anything but fruitful. After lots of waiting, your tiny composting bin gives you a handful or two of soil. But in the meantime, you've had to throw away all your other food scraps because it would have ruined the process in the bin. Or maybe you don't even have a backyard to use it.
Or, your smelly pile in the backyard is attracting bugs and animals you've never seen before, and your nosy neighbor just peered over the wall and is sending a complaint to the HOA.

Options have always been limited.
Not anymore.
