A ScrapCycle bucket full of food scraps

Composting is simple
and affordable.

We take all the effort out of making a real difference — for less than the price of Netflix. Take one extra second at the bin, and we'll do the rest.

How it works

Four steps, twice a month. That's the whole thing.

01

Fill your bucket

Toss food scraps and paper into your ScrapCycle bucket instead of the trash. Lid on.

02

Set it out

On pickup day, leave the bucket by your door or the curb. We handle the rest.

03

We collect

Every two weeks we empty your bucket and set it right back where we found it.

04

Back to soil

Your scraps become nutrient-rich compost for local gardens and farms.

Compost this, not that

Everything sorts into two simple streams — Greens and Browns.
