Suncoast Compost
Residential Drop-Off  —  Terms of Service

how it works

Every week, we will pick up your household kitchen food scraps from your drop-off location and take them to our farm partners where we use large compost piles to turn everything into rich compost. Twice a year, you come to a designated pick-up site where we give you a heap of dirt to nourish your garden, flowers or trees.

To start, we will deliver two things to your drop-off site: a kitchen compost bin and several compostable bags. You’ll need to pick up your bin and bags at the drop-off location.You can drop off your compost at any time at your drop-off location. That’s all there is! 

Details

Areas We Serve
Our drop off locations are outlined on our website. If for some reason we have to modify the drop-off locations, we will let you know. 

Community Partners
We really love our community partners that host drop-off sites. Please make sure to securely close the orange latch on the large bins to ensure animals don’t get in there. Raccoons are watching.

Keeping the Compost Clean
Our compost is only as clean as the stuff you give us. While we intend to follow composting best practices (yes, they really exist!), they cannot compensate for any yard waste or dangerous or illegal items that get put in the bins. So...PLEASE check our website for what you can and cannot put into the compost bin. The list is also on the magnet we give you. Any time we update this list, we’ll send you an email.

Going Out of Town
Of course you don’t have to pay if you’re going to be out of town. Just give us 14 days advance notice via email and we will prorate the cost. However, if you want to suspend service for longer than a month, we will need to formally cancel your service. We hope you’ll join us again upon your return.

Leftover Finished Compost
Any compost soil that is left over after the twice-yearly pick-up will be donated to a local farm, school, or community garden.
