CREATING A BETTER EARTH TOGETHER
The Compost People is a residential compost pick-up service that cares about decreasing waste and environmental impact while improving soil for generations to come. We want to help you to do the same.
97% of food waste generated ends up in landfills, and this food waste creates harmful Methane. Composting is a scientifically proven method of reducing carbon/methane emissions! It also greatly reduces landfill use and instead closes the loop on food waste by giving it a second life as a beneficial use material. We have a responsibility to future generations to improve the health of our Earth. Composting is an important part of that goal.
We Take It All
We can take all food, meat, bones, egg and egg shells, dairy, fruits, vegetables, food soiled paper products, BPI compostable bags, coffee grounds, coffee filters, tea bags minus the staples, non chlorine bleached napkins only, BPI Certified Compostable service ware. That is more than you can currently put in your backyard compost bin.
It's Easy
The dirty work is done for you! You won't have to worry about rodents, insects, wet globs of partially decomposed material and other common problems that may make you want to quit composting altogether. As recycling becomes more limited, our garbage increases. This is just one way we can do our part to help the environment.
It's Our World
Getting the food waste out of our landfills not only decreases methane but it also provides a nutrient dense product that can fertilize our gardens and crops. Soil that has been enriched with compost helps fight plant disease, decreases harmful pests, improves soil PH, friability (crumbly structure), water retentions and drainage.
If you want a bag of compost we deliver a free bag yearly with your subscription. Composting benefits the air, water and soil.
Currently serving Fox Chapel, O’Hara Township, Aspinwall, Dormont, Mt Lebanon, Upper St Clair, Glen Osborne, Sewickley, Edgeworth, Ben Avon, Ben Avon Heights, Emsworth, Bellvue, Avalon, Millvale, and the City of Pittsburgh.
