Frequently asked questions.
Here are the basics for food scrap generators and composting partners.
What kind of scraps can be posted?
Fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, clean eggshells and similar plant-based kitchen material are the best fit. Meat, dairy, grease and mixed trash should not be posted unless a qualified facility specifically accepts them.
Who can use Kitchen to Compost?
Homes, businesses, schools, farms, community gardens, cities, airports, commercial composters and other organizations that generate, collect, process or use suitable organic material.
Does every pickup go to a backyard composter?
No. Small clean loads may be suitable for a home composter. Larger or more complex loads may need a farm, municipality or permitted commercial facility.
Is Kitchen to Compost a hauling company?
The platform is designed to help generators and composting partners find one another. The exact pickup, transportation and handling arrangement depends on the people or organizations involved.
