About Us
The Community Compost Depot was formed out of a concern for the tremendous amount of food scraps generated in our households. People want to recycle their food scraps but lack affordable local options.
Unlike other service providers that charge a subscription fee to participate in their drop-off program, we offer a convenient pay-what-you-can option, where you will not be charged directly for using our drop-off depots.
