A Revision of My Earlier… Hi -- This is a revision of my earlier 5-star review. I have been frustrated with communication with the company and driver since I cancelled my service. Maybe be innocent miscommunication but was an ongoing annoyance nonetheless. Otherwise, service was great!

If you don’t want to deal with the mess… If you don’t want to deal with the mess of doing your own compost, this is a great service. They are easy to work with, collecting your bucket on a regular schedule and replacing it with a new one. Three customer service features I like are the yearly billing discount option, the pick up reminder emails, and the pick up person’s effort to collect the bucket even when I forget to put it out. Also I appreciate being able to stop service when went on vacation.

I Love Key City Compost! I love Key City Compost! I've been a customer since April of 2019 and have never had any problems. They are always true to their word - My compost bucket is picked up and replaced when they say it will be and when there are schedule changes needed (weather, holidays, etc...) I always get enough notice. I've also had occasional questions about what I can put in the bucket and I've always gotten prompt answers. I love that I can keep my food scraps out of the landfill and still get quality compost for my garden without having to do all the hard work in between.

no bad comment no bad comment, excellent i had experience

We are moving away and will miss this service We are moving away. Leaving this composting service behind is unfortunate for many reasons. First, it is simple, and free for folks living in downtown Frederick. Second, we got a bag of finished compost this fall, which we used to supplement our many street-side planters. Third, I get a feeling of great happiness to see so many white five-gallon containers out on front steps and porches on pickup day. I feel that I’m part of a great community. Fourth, the composting service has improved our weekly curbside trash collection. It’s all of a piece with the colorful boats on the creek in the winter and the festivals in town throughout the year. It’s a piece of the whole that contributes to a wonderful, inviting community. Who wouldn’t want to live in Frederick?
