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.

Key City Compost has gone above and… Key City Compost has gone above and beyond to make sure I am able to compost, which is super cool! If I forget to put my bucket out, they'll leave an additional one for me anyway. Once, during a move, they even followed me to my new home to pick up my compost after I'd forgotten to adjust the address! Key City is the greatest and Frederick is incredibly lucky to have a program like this! Thank you for all that you do!

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.

Easy AND Important! Couldn’t ask for an easier way to move forward on a path towards an environmentally friendly and sustainable home. We have less than one bag of trash a week now and it is never stinky! It is such a great feeling to know that all of our food waste is going back into the ground in a nourishing way, rather than being trapped in a landfill and contributing to atmospheric methane levels. Thank you, Key City Compost! Frederick is so lucky to have you!

Blooming Good Service Key City Compost has always been quick to respond to my questions and any changes I need to make for my pickups. They are very professional and easy to work with. It makes me happy to be able to have my compostable trash put to use other than filling up the land fills. Even better, the soil I received from the compost made my hydrangea bloom like I've never seen before.
