Our Approach Makes Composting Easy - Even If You Live In An Apartment!

We started Bennett Compost with the city-dweller in mind.  Our five-gallon bucket is the perfect size for individuals and families, and comes with an airtight snap on lid that keeps smells in and pests out.  We pick up buckets weekly from homes and apartment buildings throughout the city weekly, and can even drop off a fresh bucket or an order of our compost products at the same time. 

WE'LL DROP OFF ONE OF OUR SPECIAL BUCKETS WITH A SNAP ON LID THAT KEEPS SMELLS IN AND PESTS OUT.

Fill your bucket with kitchen scraps and food waste - check out The List for more details on what we can compost!

Leave your bucket outside in the evening before your collection day - we'll make sure it's emptied in the morning!

You can compost more than you think!  Check out The List and FAQ for more details!

Holly, Christmas trees, wilted flowers - there's so much from the holidays you can #compost! Each January, we keep hundreds of trees (and countless other living decorations) out of landfills, and recycle them into compost! Our last pickup is this weekend on the 13th! There are only a few spots left on our route for curbside pickup - learn more + get your name on the route here! • bit.ly/xmastreecompost • Link In Bio • We keep well over 100 Christmas trees out of landfills and recycle them into compost each January! First step once we get trees back to the yard is to carefully inspect them for any forgotten ornaments (it happens sometimes!), and chop them up into tiny pieces using a wood chipper. This increases the surface area to volume ratio - ie. small enough so the microbes that keep our piles steaming hot (even the winter) can make quick work of breaking down the bark, wood and needles! After a few months, these beautiful trees are garden-ready compost - just in time for the planting season!⠀ .⠀ For the eighth year in a row, Bennett Compost has you covered making the end to this year's holiday season a green one! We are working with our usual group of South Philly civic associations (Passyunk Square Civic Association, East Passyunk Crossing Civic Association, East Point Breeze Neighbors and Lower Moyamensing Civic Association) to collect and recycle Christmas Trees and other holiday evergreens!⠀ .⠀ Final pickup this year is on the 12th! • $15, includes curbside pickup • Availability is limited - learn more and reserve your spot on our route here! • bit.ly/xmastreecompost • Link In Bio • Out and about, collecting trees! Each year, we keep well over 100 trees out of landfills! Once we have them back at the yard, they're broken down and chopped up by our team, and integrated into our system of static piles! In a few months, your Christmas Tree is compost, ready for this year's garden!⠀ .⠀ For the eighth year in a row, Bennett Compost has you covered for a green end to the holiday season!
