For just $29/month or $299/year ($24.91/mo), we will come to your home every week and empty your DCC-provided food waste bin, diverting your home's food waste from landfills. Instead, your table scraps will become nutrient-rich compost, and used in environmental projects across the state!

How Dirt Cheap Compost membership works:

  1. Sign up for a monthly membership, or choose to pay annually and save 15% – that's 2 months free!

  2. Within a week, we will drop off your free 5-gallon bin, plus 25 compostable kitchen bags to get you started (about 1-2 months' worth).

  3. Fill your compost bags with your home's food and garden scraps during the week, tie them up when full, and place them in your bin outside your door.

  4. Every Wednesday, we will come by and empty your bin.

That's it! Sign up today to reduce your greenhouse emissions from food waste by more than 50% for less than the cost of Netflix. We aim to be the lowest-cost option in our area (this is a passion project), so please email us if you find another pickup service that's lower priced, and we'll beat it!
