ALL-TIME ORGANICS DIVERTED FROM LANDFILL251,504.68 lbs.
If you want to know how to compost at home or at your business in the Greater Green Bay area, or where to find nutrient-rich, contaminant-free compost (screened and/or unscreened) for sale in Northeastern Wisconsin, then you’ve come to the right place!
If you’re looking for an Easy, Clean, Convenient, and Green way to recycle your food scraps and associated organics, meet your sustainability goals, or reduce your “carbon footprint,” then look no further!
Each week, we divert thousands of pounds of food scraps and associated organics from our local landfills, with the help of our hundreds of Compost Pickup Service subscribers, and transport them to our compost facility in the Town of Lessor, where we convert them, over the course of several months, into a nutrient-rich soil amendment known as compost, which we reward our subscribers with and make available for sale to the general public, year-round.
You place your full/semi-full buckets in an acceptable/agreed-upon Bucket Swap location, and we swap them out for new, clean buckets weekly, every other week, or every four weeks, depending upon which of our services you’ve signed up for.
7 OF THE BEST REASONS TO COMPOST WITH US:
A desire to divert your food scraps and associated organics from our local landfills (thus saving everyone in our community taxpayer money, delaying the need for our Counties to build yet another new landfill in the near future, and preventing the release of toxic methane into our environment)
A desire to be a superior steward of the Earth and an amazing role model to your loved ones (particularly any children and/or grandchildren in your life).
A desire to avoid having to do all the “hard, dirty, and sometimes smelly” work of composting, while still experiencing all the social and emotional benefits of it.
A desire to save money by identifying where most of your food is wasted and cut down on the amount of trash you produce, by up to 50% or more
A desire to support (and ensure the survival of) the only food-waste-focused compost facility serving the Greater Green Bay area
A desire to support a small, local, family-run business doing big things to make our a community a better, more sustainable place to live, work, and play
THE MAJOR BENEFITS OF COMPOSTING:
Reduces methane (a potent greenhouse gas) emissions from landfills.
Upcycles what would have been waste into a valuable soil amendment.
Enriches soil, via the addition of organic matter and nutrients, which results in better looking, better tasting food and reduces the need for chemical fertilizers.
Helps soil retain moisture, which results in less need to water plants.
Reduces soil erosion by improving soil structure.
Encourages the production of beneficial bacteria and fungi in our soil.

A WORD FROM OUR FOUNDER & CEO
I started Greener Bay Compost in July of 2021, after having been composting and gardening in my own backyard since the summer of 2016, because there was no compost pickup service available in the Green Bay metropolitan area. Upon realizing how great I felt knowing my own food waste was going back into my garden beds, rather than into a landfill, and witnessing the amazing things compost does for plant growth, I just had to share this amazing process with my neighbors!
