EarthKeepers Compost Collection Services

Divert your organic resources from the landfill, reduce emissions, enrich the soil, and protect the climate!

EarthKeepers is a Bloomington-based Benefit Corporation that is woman-owned, minority-owned, and a living-wage employer. Our mission is to educate and activate the Bloomington and Monroe County community around the importance of reducing food waste and increasing composting, for a healthier planet and a happier hometown! Through our commercial, institutional, and community organics collection & consultation services, we can now close the loop on food waste in Bloomington and Monroe County, feeding scraps to the happiest chickens in the land and turning waste into rich compost for urban and rural food production, landscaping, erosion control, stormwater management, and environmental bioremediation.

CURBSIDE COLLECTION

Set your bucket on the curbside and we’ll come weekly or biweekly to empty and clean your bucket.
Easy. Reliable. Convenient.

SELF-SERVE DROP-OFF

COMMERCIAL AND EVENT

Whether you are a business or nonprofit, school or municipality, family or community event planner, we will make composting simple, clean, and educational.

 

In the wisdom of Nature, nothing is ever wasted and nothing is thrown away: the loop, though wide, is always closed and self-contained, as one season’s leftovers become the next season’s source of new life.
