Our door-to-door Bin Swap program provides you with a 5-gallon airtight bin for a weekly or biweekly compost pickup. Simply put it outside your door and let us do the rest!

Get started with Compost Only pickups or level up your service with farm-fresh fruits and veggies, sustainable home essentials and member-made goods!

All scraps go to our local farm partner to get turned into fertilizer and helps to grow more local food. You can even get finished compost back for your houseplants or garden!

Groundcycle makes it so easy and fun to be sustainable. I’m learning how to cook seasonal veggies and love that all my scraps are going directly to the farm 💚

It can’t get easier! I love how simple they make it to compost in a big building. The bin they provide is great—it keeps everything tidy. Plus the customer service is amazing and you can tell they truly care.

I love being part of the Groundcycle community and the events they host. I’ve met so many friends who also care about sustainability and it gives me hope that together we can truly make a difference.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why compost with Groundcycle?

You’ll be diverting organic waste, cutting down methane emissions and nourishing the soil. Your food scraps will be processed by McEnroe Organic Farm into fertilizer, not turned into bioslurry like the majority of organics in DSNY’s collection.

Groundcycle also delivers year-round organic fruits and veggies in your Bin Swap! All our members can get sustainable products like soap refills, pantry products and more delivered when we collect your compost.

We are a business that truly cares. Close the loop and join our sustainable community!

What fruits/veggies are in the Farmer’s Choice?

In-season fruits and veggies! It’s like a CSA without the season-long commitment—our farmer decides what’s in the bundle and you decide what size you want. (S) includes 3-5 items, (M) includes 6-8 items, (L) includes 10-12 items and we have a fruit share as well.

Summer Farmer’s Choice (example items): sweet corn, tomato, basil, sweet pepper, eggplant, peach, blueberries, apricots, plums, etc.

Winter Farmer’s Choice (example items): sweet potato, potato, kale, bok choy, radish, and squash, apples, pears, grapes, etc.

What else can I get delivered?

In addition to local produce we work with Maison Jar and Precycle to deliver refillable home staples (all types of soaps, cooking oils, vinegar, spices, etc.) and dry pantry goods (rice, beans, pasta, flour, etc.). We’re a one-stop-shop for all your sustainable needs!
