Residential Composting

Curbside Service

We Come To You

Sign up and we’ll deliver a clean, 3.5-gallon screw-top bucket right to your door. Fill it up during the week — fruits, veggies, meat, dairy, leftovers, coffee grounds — and set it out on pickup day. We swap it for a clean one and haul your scraps off to be composted.

Acceptable Materials Sheet

  • Every-other-week-pickup: $20/month
  • Weekly pickup: $38/month
  • Service area: Lansing, East Lansing, Okemos, and Delta Township

Dropoff Service

Outside Our Curbside Zone?

If you live outside our current curbside area, dropoff service keeps you in the loop. We’ll tell you where to pick up a bucket, and when it’s full, you drop it at one of our facilities.

We’re currently expanding curbside service into Okemos starting on July 1st – sign up now!

  • Monthly Plan: $22/month for up to four bucket swaps
  • Pay-as-you-throw: $5 per dropoff (your own container)

Compost Recovery

Inherited a Compost Pile You Don’t Want?

It happens. If you started composting at home and fell behind — or you’re moving and leaving a pile behind — we’ll come haul it away and give you your yard back.

  • Starts at $50 for up to one yard of material
  • Containers (plastic bins, wooden frames, etc.) removed on a case-by-base basis
