Reunity Resources' Doorstep Compost Collection is the easiest way to reduce your household waste and participate in our closed loop community farm. We’ll provide you with a lined 4-gallon bucket: you fill it with your food scraps, and we swap it for a clean empty bucket. Plus, doorstep program members receive a free bag of premium compost once in the spring and once in the fall. Go green and become a waste winner today!
How does it work?

Benefits of compostingFood waste in landfills is a major contributor to the climate crisis, and there are simple steps we can take to not only decrease our detrimental impact but simultaneously create positive change by building healthy soils which serve to sequester carbon from the atmosphere back into the soil where it belongs.

- Sign up here! Our current routes are on Wednesdays and Thursday. Sign up by Friday at 3 p.m., we will deliver you your first bucket the following week. We are presently offering service in all of Santa Fe City Limits, Las Campanas, La Cienega, Seton Village and El Dorado--if you are outside of these areas and still interested, please email Micah at doorstep@reunityresources.com and we’ll put you on a waiting list until we have enough households in your area to begin.
- We'll drop off one of our spiffy 4 gallon buckets at your location.
- You fill your bucket with food scraps: our commercial scale operation can handle all foods including meat, bones, dairy and citrus. (More details on what we accept at the button below.)
- On your collection day, leave your bucket outside your front door. We'll swap it for a clean one and compost the scraps.
- Twice a year, spring and fall, you can enjoy delivery of a cubic foot bag of our premium compost, right to your doorstep--we’ll let you know when to expect delivery, and you can opt-in. Alternatively, we can donate your compost to school gardens and community programs.
This subscription program will charge your card automatically once per month after your start date. Please note that your "Shipping Address" is the address at which we will be providing service. We look forward to serving you, thanks for composting!
