Here's how we make composting easy and clean.

You place your food scraps into a bin we provide for your home or business.

We regularly empty your full bin, making sure its clean and properly lined.

We compost your food scraps at our farm and share the nutrient-rich soil with you!​

No obligations. Cancel anytime.

What can I put in my bin?

"Food and fiber" is an easy way to remember. If it was edible, it goes in. Napkins, flowers, egg shells, and coffee grinds are all welcome, as well. Please no charcoal, animal/human feces or urine, or excessive amounts of liquids.

What happens to the stuff you collect?

The compostable waste we collect is processed at one of our commercial composting partner facilities in the Charlotte-Mecklenburg area.

What areas do you service?

We service homes and businesses throughout Charlotte-Mecklenburg, North Carolina. You can confirm if your address is within our service area by clicking the Get Started button above.

• Free Range Brewing, Noda at 2320 N Davidson St. located on the back patio.
• The Innovation Barn at 932 Seigle Ave. located on the front of the building
• Lenny Boy Brewing at 3000 S Tryon St. *Open during business hours only.

Can I use a different bin?

Yes, absolutely, as long as you empty your materials into our bin when you put it out for collection.

 
What do I do with my bin on pick-up day?

It happens to all of us. Just send a message to us through the Member Portal or to our email at howdy@crowntowncompost.com, and we'll arrange for your bin to get picked up. Additional charges may apply for off-schedule pick-ups.
