Moonshot’s Home Composting Program

Many homeowners and homebuyers today are interested in ways to make their houses more sustainable and eco-friendly. For all the information and help available about solar panels and energy-efficient appliances, very few are paying attention to the amount of waste their homes are producing that ends up in rapidly filling landfills. 

That’s where we come in.

Moonshot Compost offers two varieties of residential composting service to give homeowners and apartment-dwellers the opportunity to collect a wide range of food waste and turn it into valuable compost for themselves or the community. 

Easy Home Pick-Up Composting

Collect your home’s compostables in the bags and bin we provide, and we pick it up weekly. We bring new compostable bags each week and the compost you’ve earned, if you choose, twice per year.

Home Drop-off Composting on Your Schedule

Just as with Home Pickup, you still get to participate in generating compost at home that you can claim or donate. The only difference is instead of us picking it up, you drop your compostables at one of our collection locations whenever you’re ready.

What to Compost?

Acceptable material varies slightly depending on whether you’re doing Pickup or Drop-Off, but generally speaking we can accept all kinds of produce as well as coffee waste, bread, table scraps, pasta, egg shells, and more.

Track Your Contributions on the Diversion Dashboard

We make it simple to view the environmental benefits your donations are making with our Diversion Dashboard tool. You’ll find stats such as pounds of waste diverted from landfills and pounds of CO2 saved by composting that waste. You can also get data on your larger community’s achievements, as well.

What Happens to Your Food Waste?

Call us nerds, but we think it’s really cool how spoiled food and leftovers can become a valuable commodity when given enough time and a place to relax. Where is that, you ask?

Your Moonshot collections are transformed into compost at either commercial composting facilities or community gardens.
