“Only when the last tree has been cut down, the last fish been caught, and the last stream poisoned, will we realize we cannot eat money.” - Alanis Obomsawin

We can all play a role in living mindfully and protecting our planet - and is one of the most impactful changes you can make.

Food in landfills produces methane, a greenhouse gas that’s driving global temperature increases. When you compost your instead of trashing it, it’s better for the planet - AND you get compost!

If a paid, weekly pickup service like ours isn’t a good match for you, here’s how you can compost for FREE, on demand, in the city:

🌎 Join our free Holmesburg dropoff program. There are no set hours - the bins are at 8201 Torresdale Ave and you can unlock them with the city’s MetroKey app.

🌍 Find the Farm Philly community compost drop off point near you! There are almost two dozen spots across the city already.

🌏 Visit the Fairmount Park Organic Recycling Center at 3850 Ford Road. Not only can you drop off your food waste for composting - you can also pick up compost and woodchips for free! Don’t forget to bring your own container. You can take up to 30 gallons per visit, 2 times per week.

🌎 MOM's Organic Market on South 11th accepts compostable food scraps for free, daily from 9-9.

🌍 Our friends at the West Philly Tool Library also have a bin that’s free to the community, that we process into rich soil for our city’s gardens and green spaces.
