History
Compost Cab served its first customer in 2010, when it was just an idea, a truck, and a commitment to urban agriculture in DC. Six years later we've turned nearly a million pounds of food scraps into nutrient rich soil while remaining family owned & operated.
Specialties
The average American family produces around 500 pounds of leftover organic material every year. The vast majority of these organics takes a long, fossil fuel-powered trip to the landfill. Methane from these landfills is equal to around 20 percent of the pollution output of coal-fired power plants in the United States. For every four families that compost with Compost Cab, we keep a ton of organics - 2,000 pounds of what most people still consider trash - out of landfills each year. We compost it locally instead. And in doing so, we create hundreds of pounds of new nutrient-rich, fertile, natural soil.
