Glad to help the world! Glad I saw the advertisement at the county compost drop off as it was getting difficult to drive to that site! What with all my speeding tickets from the cameras. :) Love the consistency in pick up weekly and glad you guys take our additional large bag every week in addition to the bucket. Glad you guys swap the buckets weekly. Aside from the convenience, glad that you guys are able to help US help the try to help the world! We just need to convince everyone to compost!

Good for the environment Good for the environment, good for our community. The composting service is good for the environment by moving compostable materials out of landfills and converting them to usable compost. It helps our community's bottom line by reducing trash collection fees. It also helps keep plastic trash bags out of the wast stream. Since all the messy stuff goes in the compost bin, the rest of the trash is essentially dry so I can use a paper bag to dispose of it.

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?

Long time customer (3 years) Long time customer (3 years). I really love the convenience of this service and knowing my food waste isn't buried in a landfill. It's easy. Place your bucket outside your door for pick up and get a clean bucket in return.

Straightforward & easy Straightforward & easy. I like having a place to dispose of my food waste that isn't the garbage or garbage disposal and I like even more getting my bags of compost in the spring. The pricing is reasonable and the service is predictable. Also always get a quick reply to emails or phone calls.
