Composting for Households
From Bala to Wayne, Broomall to West Chester,
we are here to make composting easy for every resident.
The Basics:
We Deliver a Bucket
We bring you a bucket with details on what to compost.
You Fill It
Load up food scraps & organic materials like banana peels, corn cobs, and pizza boxes.
We Pick It Up
Place your filled bucket outside and our team will clean out your bucket for the next round.
Composting is one of the most effective ways for individuals to treat our planet with care.
Composting together makes our efforts more powerful – and easier!
Learn Why Composting Works
What Goes in the Bucket?
Short answer?
If it GROWS, it GOES.
You can load your bucket full of peels, shells, stems, scraps, and even leftovers. Unused food can be composted even if it is frozen, burned, expired, stale, or moldy.
In addition to the food scraps in your bucket, we will collect up to 5 Pizza Boxes per service. You can put your bucket right on top of the boxes.
100% Composting Guarantee:
Every pound of material we collect is composted.
Our Service With Care
We’ll service your address every two weeks.
You fill it. We handle the rest. Pickup reminders, bin cleaning & re-lining, service updates, and impact tracking are all included.

The Benefits of Composting
Less Trash, Less Smell
Taking organic waste out of the trash means it makes less methane, a powerful greenhouse gas.
Close the Loop
Nature already knows what to do with food scraps. Our job is to make it easier for you to be part of that process.
Support the local economy
Composting supports more jobs that stay in our region – up to 2x as many jobs as landfilling, and 4x as many as incineration.
Save the Planet
It’s easy being green when you have Mother Compost helping you keep track.
Composting is one of the best ways to (meaningfully) reduce your household climate impact. We make it easy, you make a difference.
