Just toss your scraps in the bucket, set it on the porch and we'll take it from there.

“We LOVE the compost service! We initially had a huge outdoor compost pile, but our yard was too small, and it was creating problems with smell and rodents because we weren’t turning it properly.
Then we had an expensive indoor composter which I hated, because it was a big hunk of plastic that kept breaking, making noise, using energy, and requiring a subscription to keep running.
Then we threw everything away for a while which stank up the kitchen garbage and broke our hearts.
This is the perfect answer — local, convenient, and we feel good about being back to composting.”
