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.

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.

Wonderful company and service. Highly recommend. We signed up initially for bi-monthly pick ups and paid a year in advance, but it didn’t take long to realize this vegan family of 5 needed the weekly option. I messaged them and they let me pay the difference to make it happen. My interactions with the delivery/pickup driver were always brief, but pleasant. They’re doing great work and I’m happy with the service they have provided me.

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?
