Once a week, we collect your food scraps at the curb, leaving you with a clean bucket or a fresh compostable liner* - and, if requested, a bag of MOFGA approved compost compost. Yearly Contribution: Minimum monthly contribution is $15 although you can choose to contribute more. Additional funds offset compost donations, education, and the volunteer program. Minimum yearly contribution is a discounted rate of $165. Pay for the first 11 months and get the 12th month for free. We only accept Visa, Mastercard and Discover cards.
Founded in 2012 and based in Portland, Maine, Garbage to Garden is the beloved curbside compost service that offers urban dwellers, schools and commercial businesses a convenient way to recycle food scraps, including meat, dairy and bones, to be used to renew our local soil.

Frank and his roommates pondered why they couldn't just put compost out on the curb like trash and recycling, and in the moment between wondering and wishing, Garbage to Garden took root.
