Groundcycle

Groundcycle helps homes, offices, businesses and events compost in New York City.

We do door-to-door compost pickups all across Manhattan, Brooklyn, and Ridgewood. If you have any type of organic waste, you’ll be sure we have a solution for it! Let’s team up on diverting a million pounds of waste from landfills with our farm partners.

Our Story

New York City stopped collecting compost in 2020 so we stepped in to fill the gap. Since then, we’ve diverted nearly 1 million pounds of organic waste from landfills.

How we got started

At the height of COVID, we started connecting folks at home with local farmers. Farmers needed New Yorkers to buy their fruits and vegetables, and New Yorkers needed farmers to process their compost. It made so much sense for us to connect the two! We immediately spread the word amongst friends and family and started our residential Bin Swap program within two weeks.

Groundcycle today

Beyond residential composting, we now work with restaurants, offices, florists and events all over New York City to meet their composting needs. And in addition to our original farm partners, we now collaborate with many other like-minded businesses to continue growing the sustainability movement together. We can’t wait to continue building this community with you!
