Garbage to Garden
352 Presumpscot Street, Portland, Maine, United States

Here's how it works. We give you a compact, 6-gallon bin with a snap-tight lid to fill with all of your organic waste: your food scraps, coffee grounds, yard waste, even eggshells, meat and bones. Then on your regular trash day just place your bin at the curb, and we'll replace it with a clean one. We then compost all of the collected waste.

When you need compost to replant your favorite houseplant or spruce up your garden, just head to our website to request it, and it will be delivered on your next pickup day. Our goal is to not only reduce the amount of organic waste entering landfills and incinerators, but to raise awareness on the amount of food wasted in this country everyday and lessen it.
