Where to drop off compostables
Better Earth’s Compost Drop Off Database guides you to your local compost drop off location.
Compost Drop Off Sites are locations where residents can drop off their organic waste to be composted, typically for no additional charge. From there, organic waste is picked up and taken to a local composting facility to be processed into a nutrient-rich soil amendment.
Drop off locations are accessible community tools to engage all in the process and benefits of composting. And accessibility is critical, as nearly 40% of food is wasted and sent to landfills and only 5% is composted in the United States, leading to methane emissions and the exacerbation of climate impacts.
