    All of the terrible reviews are correct, the owner doesn't follow through with providing the service that is paid for.

    I am using City Compost since June 2023. After I understood their way of pickups announcing and the fact that pickups can happen earlier than 7 am, I haven't any problems with my full bucket being replaced with an empty one. Pickups were postponed 1-2 days a few times, but this is understandable and can happen at any organization. I certainly would not judge this group of enthusiasts handling our food scraps too harshly. I am using their website successfully when I need to update the placement of my bucket (pictures are helpful), or pause my service.I wish City Compost to strive and get more customers!

    I found this City Compost on ************. ***** communication via messengers were prompt and clear to explain price and availability. He texted me the address and direction. I drove over there yesterday. **** was there as he promised on time. I bought 12 buckets which are in good shape with reasonable price. **** showed me healthy looking plants too. I was very pleased with my first experience and will return. Thank you ****!!!

    This company is amazing. We have had 16 buckets of compost delivered so far. It is beautiful! And the service is amazing also,  Adam answers email quickly and is so helpful. I volunteer at a garden where all the food goes to a food pantry (Loaves and Fishes). It is going to be a GREAT year thanks to you! Keep up the good work!

    ive been with city compost for a year and during that time the pickups have been inconsistent or late with poor communication regarding delays. Email responses are slow and unapologetic. I had to cancel my automatic payments through my bank in order to stop service because my emails requesting cancellation went unanswered for three weeks and my card was charged despite this ongoing request. i do not recommend this company

    Was using this business for compost collection, and there were multiple months where they charged me for service but did not come and collect the compost bin. They did not pick up the bucket claiming I had placed it in the wrong location but it was the same spot that I had been putting it in previous months where they were collecting it. Really they were not coming. If you want a compost collection service dont use this one.

    Customer had picked a specific location for a service to occur. Upon visiting for a service, the individual responsible for collecting the compost had gone to this location and documented through photography that the container was not in the agreed upon location. When the customers shared the location where it was actually being placed instead of the agreed upon location, the locational information was updated in our system. Customer chose to discontinue service shortly after this.
