Food Scrap Drop-Off Stations
Every 22 pounds of food scrap composted takes one full day of driving emissions out of the atmosphere.
Not every household has the time and space to compost alone. That’s why GoZERO offers community drop off stations. We believe that every person’s effort counts and together, we can keep food scrap out of landfills. Join a member supported food scrap drop-off stations to begin composting with GoZERO today!
How do drop-off stations work?
Members of the community may dispose of household compostable items at one of our food scrap drop-off stations.
GoZERO regularly collects the scrap and transports it to one of our licensed composting facilities where it can be processed and turned into nutrient rich compost.
There are two types of drop-off stations:
Member Supported
Municipally Sponsored
Membership includes:
invitation to responsibly dispose food scrap during station hours
a GoZERO bucket and lid for collecting compostables
guidance on how and what to collect

What are drop-off stations?
A food scrap compost drop-off station is a place where one or more watertight, lidded, 64 gallon GoZERO food waste carts are placed for public use on either an open or membership basis, via subscriptions or sponsorship. Host locations typically set hours and other station parameters, but the goal is the same at every one – to increase food waste awareness and reduce food waste itself by making options like drop-off stations more accessible in the community
Want to organize a station?
Where there’s a will, there’s a way, and your will could be that way.
Contact us to organize a drop-off station in your community! Pairing a member supported station with a local business interested in composting or allowing a local organization/government to sponsor one for area residents typically works best.
