Purple Pail
Food waste belongs in the soil,
not the landfill.
We make composting simple with curbside food scrap pickup for your home.
How it works
01
Get your Purple Pail
We provide you with a 5-gallon pail for collecting your food scraps.
02
Fill your pail
Collect your food scraps in your Purple Pail throughout the week.
03
We pick it up
Set your pail out on pickup day. We collect your scraps and get them composted.
