Plenty of people want to compost but never start, usually because a backyard pile feels like work or they simply do not have the space. Curbside pickup removes those barriers.
No pile to manage
With a pickup service, you collect scraps in a bucket and set it out on your scheduled day. There is no turning, no balancing greens and browns, and no worrying about pests or odor in the yard.
You can compost more types of food
Because collected material goes to a commercial processing facility, services can often accept items that backyard piles cannot handle well, like meat and dairy. See exactly what we take on our acceptable food waste page.
Consistency creates impact
The environmental benefit of composting comes from doing it regularly. A reliable pickup schedule makes that easy, which is why programs like ours focus on being simple and consistent. Learn what Torus is and where your scraps go after pickup in this article.
