A Worker-Owned, Bicycle-Powered, Curbside Compost Pick-Up Service in Arcata, CA.

We work to keep food waste out of the landfill and turn it into a natural resource for our community.

Composting with us…

• Reduces landfill methane emissions
• Builds soil and helps grow food in Arcata’s community gardens
• Provides access to a high-quality local compost source
• Supports workplace democracy

If you live in one of the zones within our service area, get started composting by signing up for weekly residential curbside pickup. Zoom in for detail.

We provide you with a 5 gallon bucket w/ lid for your food-waste and other compostables. Our riders come by weekly on our e-bike equipped with trailer to empty your bucket . We then take it to one of our community partner sites to be turned into compost. That finished compost is then available for sale to our local community to use in their gardens. It’s the full cycle, realized!

Full Cycle ‘Soil Booster’ Compost

Our locally made, small batch, hand-turned compost is unlike any commercially produced compost, because it is made with local food waste that is diverted from the landfill with BIKES!

Buying our Hyper Local ‘Soil Booster’ Compost helps support our efforts to keep food waste out of landfills, and supports our local community.
