COMPOST WATERBURY
Compost Waterbury is working to bring weekly food scrap pick-up to the Brass City.
WHY COMPOST
We're bringing food scrap pick-up to Waterbury. $22 per month for weekly pick-ups, and 6 soil "getbacks" a year.
Our partner (Blue Earth Compost) collects your food scraps every week from your home in Waterbury. No hauling, no extra trips.
Food scraps in landfills create methane. Composting breaks them down naturally, cutting emissions and waste.
Join neighbors across Waterbury working toward the same goal. We need 50 families to extend pick-up service to the Brass City.
Put food scraps in your bin. Leave it out on pick-up day. All for $22 per month.

ABOUT US
Compost Waterbury is organized by Waterbury citizens, like you, looking for more sustainable ways to handle food waste. We're connecting local residents with Blue Earth Compost (based in Southington) to divert food scraps from landfills. Once we get to 50 families interested in pick-up service, Waterbury becomes eligible for addition to their service map. Join us!
Got questions?
Answers to all your questions.
You'll receive a pail with compostable bags. You fill the pail with food scraps. Once pick-up day arrives, you leave the pail outside — where Blue Earth takes its contents for processing.
They're a certified B Corp based in Southington, CT that does residential and commercial composting. They service multiple areas in CT already, but haven't had sufficient interest in Waterbury to date in order to add it to their service map.
$22 per month once service begins, but no cost to join the waitlist.
6 times a year, Blue Earth will provide "soil getbacks" — where you receive a delivery of dirt enriched by the compost derived from scraps like yours.
Blue Earth Compost doesn't serve Waterbury yet. They need 50 families to enlist before they're able to add it to their service map. When you sign up, you'll get notified first once we hit our goal. No payment required to join the waitlist.
We'll take your information and pass it to Blue Earth. They will coordinate logistics — collecting your info, providing a compost pail, scheduling pick-up, and processing payment.
