Miscommunication turned dream for WasteNot founder and CEO, Liam Donnelly. At the age of 15, while working at a local cafe, Liam saw that waste was an afterthought. 

Knowing that his beloved cafe could do better, Liam began to take food waste as well as coffee waste home out of guilt to compost in his backyard. After the general manager noticed Liam's passion for sustainability and his entrepreneurial spirit, the cafe began paying him for food scrap diversion.

From there, WasteNot Compost was born. WasteNot Compost currently serves homes and all business types ranging from schools, cafes, bakeries, to farmers markets, and everything in between.

We take the work out of composting for you so it can not only be easy to do so in an urban setting, but always clean with all tools provided every pickup.
