We have tried to support environmental methods to help eliminate waste going into landfills and we’ve been doing this for several years. We were so glad when we found out about this company when we moved here in 2019. The company is very reliable and sends reminders the day before and if we forget they go ahead and leave us a fresh bucket. We highly recommend them and wish more would use them.

Straightforward & easy

Straightforward & easy. I like having a place to dispose of my food waste that isn't the garbage or garbage disposal and I like even more getting my bags of compost in the spring. The pricing is reasonable and the service is predictable. Also always get a quick reply to emails or phone calls.

I'm so thankful for this service

I'm so thankful for this service. When I had my own
yard I composted everything I could. Now, Key can compost even
more! They always bring a clean bucket on schedule, plus I love getting
a new bag of compost every year.

Glad to help the world!

Glad I saw the advertisement at the county compost drop off as it was getting difficult to drive to that site! What with all my speeding tickets from the cameras. :) Love the consistency in pick up weekly and glad you guys take our additional large bag every week in addition to the bucket. Glad you guys swap the buckets weekly.

Aside from the convenience, glad that you guys are able to help US help the try to help the world! We just need to convince everyone to compost!
