About the Company

Compost Crew

Subscription-based organics waste collection and composting

Compost Crew runs an organics recycling service in the Mid-Atlantic (Maryland, Northern Virginia, and Washington, D.C.). It collects food scraps and other compostable waste from households, neighborhoods, and many types of businesses on a subscription basis, with weekly pickups and provided bins. The collected material is taken to local partner facilities and the company’s own Compost Outposts, which are small, often solar-powered composting sites that process waste near where it’s generated. The finished compost is returned to customers twice a year, used at local farms, or sold under the Farm Feast brand. Revenue comes from monthly collection fees based on waste volume and pickup frequency, plus subsidized residential programs and drop-off partnerships with municipalities. Compost Crew’s approach emphasizes a closed-loop system that reduces transportation emissions and supports soil revitalization, aiming to divert food waste from landfills and promote soil health in its region.
