Description

After realizing how difficult it was to manage a home compost receptacle, especially in small backyards, apartments, and condominiums, Matt Rostetter (Founder and Creative Director) set out to create a system that would allow anyone to compost at home without the hassle and maintenance of a compost bin. Founded in 2010, CompostNow began with humble roots. The company started by collecting food waste from friends and family once a week, transporting the food waste to a composting facility where it was turned into nutrient-rich soil and returning the premium soil to friends and family to be used for gardening.

Today the service has expanded throughout the Triangle to many house-holds and small businesses and has helped divert over 26,000lbs from the landfill. We hope to see every house-hold and small business in the Triangle composting and diverting their waste from landfills as a means to reduce greenhouse gases and overcrowded landfills. We believe that, not only is our service good for the environment, at the end of the day it brings better quality soil to the local community which results in more nutritious food on everyone's plate.

It's time to stop trashing all those valuable food scraps. Plus, earn soil back or have it donated to complete the urban food cycle. Spread the word.

We currently service Raleigh, Durham, Cary, Chapel Hill, Carrboro, Apex, and Morrisville. Visit our website to bring CompostNow to your area or to sign up for service.
