Home Composting Program
Get startedOur weekly doorstep collection service empowers those without the space, time or desire to manage their own composting system to still compost at home! It’s easy. You put your compostables in the bin, and we’ll do the rest! You’ll be able to earn compost back or choose a local community garden to share your compost with.
To this day I'm still amazed how little goes out in the garbage every week because of my composting.
When I think of how much healthy soil would be created if everyone in my neighborhood used CN, it blows my mind.
