Set your bucket out. We swap it for a clean one, compost what’s inside right here in Athens, and hand it back to the land as finished compost. No bins to turn, no smell, no guilt.
The easiest way to keep food scraps out of the landfill — and turn them into something useful.
We drop off a sealed, critter-proof bucket. Add food scraps all week — fruit, veg, coffee, eggshells and more.
On your pickup day we take the full bucket and leave a clean, fresh one. That’s the whole chore.
Your scraps become living compost — and members can claim finished compost back for their own garden.
Buried in a landfill, food waste can’t break down properly — it releases methane, a greenhouse gas far stronger than CO₂. Composted instead, those same scraps become rich soil that grows next season’s food. Compostia keeps it local, and keeps the loop closed.
Pick the bucket size that fits your household, choose your schedule, and check out securely right here. We’ll confirm your area and first pickup day within one business day. Weekly and monthly plans available across Athens.
