Ever wish there was a smarter thing to do with your food scraps than throwing them in the garbage to be dumped into our local landfill? Have you tried to start your own compost operation at home but found it’s too difficult to maintain or that it attracts unwanted critters?

Rogue Produce has created a smart solution for our region’s lack of options when it comes to managing the valuable resource of our food scraps: Community Compost. We provide a weekly residential pickup of food scraps. Instead of taking the scraps to the landfill, we donate them to small local farms where they are used to create compost. By signing up for our Community Compost service, you reduce the waste in our local landfill and provide a substantial benefit to local farmers.

You currently have 2 options as a Community Compost Customer. You can go with our traditional service, where we pick-up directly from your home (choose the subscription above for $69.95 for 3-months of service). Or, you can join our new model, the Neighborhood Compost Project for only $14.95 per month (see subscription above)!
