Let’s talk about making the most of your compost. Why? Because food scraps are a valuable resource that ends up in landfills all too often.

Enter: Compost Nashville , a full-service curbside compost pickup that proves composting doesn’t need to be dirty or complicated — in fact, they’ve made it easier than ever to adopt this eco-friendly habit.

Putting food waste to work

Since 2014, Compost Nashville has diverted 10 million pounds of food scraps and other compostables from landfills. They offer curbside pickup at homes , offices , and even events like weddings or parties . Here’s how it works:

  1. Sign up for service.
  2. Compost Nashville provides an airtight bin to hold your scraps.
  3. Every week, they pick up your full bin curbside like city trash + exchange it with a clean one.

The result: Instead of creating methane among piles of garbage, your food waste is turned into compost and donated to local farms and gardens as nutrient-dense, natural fertilizer.
