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.

Helping reduce waste! Helping reduce waste, easy to work with, and great customer service!

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!

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?

I love having home compost pick-up I love having home compost pick-up! I'm so appreciative of the job Key Compost does every week. They made it really easy for us to get started here in Park Fairfax. the collection bucket is nice and large--I often leave the bucket out every other week and so far it hasn't been an issue. The staff is really nice and responsive and I haven't had any issues with compost not being picked up. Everyone should have home compost collection!
