Rust Belt Riders’ compost collection service is a simple, affordable way for organizations to make a positive impact on their community and environment.
All you need to do is place some of your would-be waste material into our bins instead of the garbage. Then, we pickup on a schedule that works for you, and exchange your full bin for a fresh new one.
Our processing ensures your material goes straight to local food production, reducing water runoff and cutting emissions from both landfill off-gassing and transport.
With our reporting capabilities you can understand the impact you're making, from your kitchen to your community. Try a free week and learn the difference your organization can make.

“I enjoy working with Rust Belt Riders for a variety of reasons but the biggest would be how easy they make it! Their on-site training helps our staff learn how to participate in the program, and their bin service is so stealth, you'd think they were ninjas! ”

Collection Services
Starting with a free waste audit will determine the best scale of service for you. If you're interested in regular collection, we can work with your team on the process and logistics of your bin pickups. You can expect reliable, fast and efficient pickups that fit your schedule, and if you're a large organization with multiple locations, we're happy to start with a pilot and scale up to fit your needs.
