Easy. Local. Impactful.

Composting is one of the best things you can do for the planet. With Mother Nurture Composting, it takes almost no effort at all. We pick up your kitchen scraps curbside right here in Delaware and turn them into finished compost. Good for your community. Great for the earth.

Here's how it works:

• We drop off your bin.
• You toss in your kitchen scraps.
• We pick it up from your curb every other week.
• You get finished compost delivered once a year (or it gets donated if you don't need it).

We offer subscription options that provide 5-gallon bins for you to fill with your household food waste. Every other week, on your scheduled day, just place the bin(s) on your curb and we'll come by to empty them. Most families only need 1 bin to start out.
