Food Scrap Collection in Lansing
Want to keep your organic waste out of the landfill? Diverting food from our landfills is an important way to combat climate change and making it into compost keeps those nutrients local and builds quality soil for local gardeners.
Worker Owned
Being worker owned allows us to put workers and community benefits at the core of our business. We all own the business and participate in its success based on how much labor we contribute.
Prefer Muscle over Machine
We do most of our routes by bicycle and turn our compost by hand and by chicken. We believe it is important to reduce our operation's impact. We also really like biking.
Curbside
We bring you a bucket, you fill it up with your organic waste and we take the full bucket and replace with an empty bucket. We can come either weekly or every other week.
Drop offs
If you live too far from us for curbside, but still want to compost, you can come to one of our facilities to leave your full bucket and grab an empty one.
Recovery

We will come to you if you live nearby.
We make composting as easy as possible, while sticking to our values of efficiency, mostly-human powered, and sustainable growth. If you live in one of the neighborhoods shown, we offer curbside service.
