Turn your food waste back into food for the city Turn your food waste into food for the city! Very easy service to use.

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?

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.

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.

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!
