Join The Urban Canopy Compost Club!

WHAT YOU DO:

Keep the 5-gallon bucket (that we provide!) near your kitchen. Add your veggie scraps, egg shells, coffee grounds, spoiled fruit and other compostables!

When it's time to swap out the bucket, leave it out. We'll collect it and leave you a fresh one!

Your food scraps head to one of several local Chicago farms who perform the actual composting!

We use worms to digest your food scraps (through vermi-composting) to generate healthy soil and nutrients to grow more local food.

For every 10 buckets of scraps collected, members can choose from one of three rewards: 2lbs of finished worm castings for gardening; a $5 coupon to use for Urban Canopy farm produce at local farmers markets; a $5 gift to a local restaurant that uses composting; or, Compost Club members can donate their reward back to the Urban Canopy efforts.
