Did you know at least 30% of what goes into our local landfills is compostable kitchen and yard waste?
WHAT WE DO
Compost Carpool aims to revolutionize organic waste management by offering convenient and eco-friendly solutions for residents, businesses, and community gardens in the Dallas-Fort Worth area. Our innovative service allows you to divert food waste from landfills and support the growth of our local urban farms.
If you are interested in learning more about all our services, including larger-scale composting and diversion opportunities to support local food pantries, we invite you to visit our services page.
HOW COMPOST CARPOOL WORKS
We provide two simple subscription options: Community Drop-Off and Porch Pick-Up. Upon joining our carpool, you’ll receive a welcome gift and a comprehensive welcome kit containing a compost bucket and detailed instructions on what materials are suitable for composting.
Throughout the week, collect your organic waste in the bucket (hassle-free). Our team will pick it up from your porch, leaving you with a fresh bucket for the next cycle. You can also drop off your filled bucket and exchange it for a new one at one of our designated drop-off locations across Dallas-Fort Worth. We take care of the rest!
As an added thank you to our Compost Carpool community, each household will receive 2 bags of finished compost annually.

WHY CHOOSE COMPOST CARPOOL
A passion for sustainability and environmental stewardship drives compost Carpool. By diverting food waste from landfills, we help reduce harmful greenhouse gas emissions and minimize the strain on our planet’s resources. Additionally, our efforts support local Dallas-Forth Worth area farms, fostering a more resilient and vibrant community food system.
Together, we can make a significant difference in building a greener, healthier future for future generations.
THE IMPORTANCE OF COMPOSTING
Composting plays a pivotal role in creating a more sustainable world. By composting organic materials such as food scraps and yard waste, we can significantly reduce the amount of waste sent to landfills, which contributes to harmful methane emissions. Instead, composting transforms these materials into nutrient-rich soil amendments that enhance soil health and fertility.
Not only does composting help mitigate climate change, but it also promotes healthier ecosystems and supports local agriculture. Join us at Compost Carpool in our commitment to preserving the planet and nurturing our Dallas-Fort Worth communities through the power of composting.
