WHY COMPOST

Keep food scraps out of landfills

We're bringing food scrap pick-up to Waterbury. $22 per month for weekly pick-ups, and 6 soil "getbacks" a year.

Weekly curbside pickup

Our partner (Blue Earth Compost) collects your food scraps every week from your home in Waterbury. No hauling, no extra trips.

Reduces landfill waste

Food scraps in landfills create methane. Composting breaks them down naturally, cutting emissions and waste.

Builds community

Join neighbors across Waterbury working toward the same goal. We need 50 families to extend pick-up service to the Brass City.

Easy and affordable

Put food scraps in your bin. Leave it out on pick-up day. All for $22 per month.

About us

Just normal Waterburians...tired of wasting food.

Compost Waterbury is organized by Waterbury citizens, like you, looking for more sustainable ways to handle food waste. We're connecting local residents with Blue Earth Compost (based in Southington) to divert food scraps from landfills. Once we get to 50 families interested in pick-up service, Waterbury becomes eligible for addition to their service map. Join us!
