@garlandsgarden , another recipient of the Avondale Estates Composting Program, is using compost made from diverted food waste to grow organic vegetables, herbs, and pollinator friendly plants right in Scottdale, GA! 🌱
This is what a circular economy looks like: community food waste becoming a resource that helps farms, gardeners, pollinators, and neighborhoods prosper. Thank you, Avondale Estates residents, for helping make this possible! ♻️

This is what nutrient-cycling looks like. From the dining halls at UNC to finished compost back in our soils, watch it happen. 🌱
A lot of institutions say they care about food waste. @uncchapelhill invests in a program to actually do something about it. This video shows the whole process, start to finish.
Every tray scraped, every bin filled, every pickup - it all adds up. This is what closing the loop looks like in action. 💚
International Compost Awareness Week is here! 🌱
This year’s theme “Compost! Feed the Soil that Feeds Us” is a simple but powerful reminder: the food we rely on starts with healthy soil. And one of the easiest ways to support that cycle is by composting your food scraps.
Instead of sending waste to the landfill, you can help turn it into nutrient-rich soil that grows more food. Our members have already diverted over 119 million pounds of compostables - helping rebuild soil and reduce waste in our communities.
Getting started is easier than you think:
🚚 We pick up right from your doorstep.
🫧 No smell, no hassle. We provide a clean bin after each collection.
🍅 Your scraps are turned into nutrient-rich compost for your use or to share with a local garden.
Start composting for free - cancel anytime. Feed the soil that feeds us. It starts at home. 💚
Spring cleanup = plastic pileup
Plant trays, plastic pots, mulch bags… most of it can’t
go in your curbside recycling bin. But it doesn’t have to go to the landfill.
Our Spring Bundle makes it easy to recycle common garden plastics.
Just fill your bags, set them out on collection day, and we’ll take care of the rest.

Why did the turtle cross the road?
Because it was pickup day, and he wasn't about to miss it. 💚🚚
P.S. Sign up for our text message reminders so you never have to miss yours.
We’re not the only ones with a reusable bin on your porch… and that’s actually how we like it!
🌎 This Earth Day, we’re sharing more about how we partner with our friends at @compostnow to support our planet.
Here’s how it works:
Fresh Harvest members receive their delivery. They unpack their green bins >> groceries, fresh produce, everything prepped and put into place.
The clear compostable bags some produce and products come in? They don’t throw them away... they place them right back into their Fresh Harvest bins, where they travel back to Fresh Harvest HQ for on-site composting thanks to @compostnowga .
Meals are cooked. Plates are cleared. Scraps don’t go in the trash… they go into members’ personal #CompostNow bins that feed back into our food system as “black gold,” a rich, regenerative compost.
Here’s where it all comes full circle: that compost makes its way back to farmers through CompostNow’s Garden Partner program, fertilizing their soil so they can grow more delicious, farm-fresh produce for your next Fresh Harvest box.
So, thank YOU for being a conscious consumer and for supporting a more sustainable, regenerative food system with us. 🌱

Happy Earth Day! 🌎
The single most impactful thing you can do right now is stop sending your food scraps to the landfill. Because your food scraps should be used to build healthy soil and grow more food, NOT produce methane gas in a landfill.
Our service makes it easy to take action. Put your scraps in the bin (meat, dairy, bones, ALL of it), and we'll take care of the rest.
Try it for yourself with your first 2 collections FREE. No better day to start your composting journey than today. 🌱
Happy Earth Week! 🌎
Most people who compost say they started because they knew someone who already did. A nudge from someone they trusted was enough to start their composting journey.
This Earth Week, be that person for someone.
Refer a friend to our service, and you'll both get a $10 credit. And when they sign up and start composting, you'll see their impact on your Impact Report too so you can watch the ripple effect grow. 💚

“We are composting now.” - Mayor Tony Powers
We're proud to announce our partnership with the @cityofdecaturga to bring curbside composting to residents citywide - launching April 21st, just in time for Earth Day!
The city ran a six-month composting pilot program that made one thing clear: Decatur residents want this. Nearly 17 tons of food waste diverted, contamination rates below 1%, and a community that took action every single week.
We're honored to be the City of Decatur's trusted partner in building on that momentum. For just $19/month, Decatur residents get weekly curbside food scrap pickup. Everything collected is composted at our facility, Southern Soil Works, and comes back as finished compost for local farms and community gardens across the Atlanta metro area. Decatur residents can sign up for this program via link in bio.
This is what it looks like when a city puts sustainability into action. 🌱
Our 2025 Annual Report is done curing! 🌱
Every year this report reminds us why we do this work. And every year, you all make it more impressive than the last. In 2025, the homes, businesses, and communities composting with us diverted over 20 million pounds of food waste, surpassing 100 million pounds diverted since our founding.
As we step into our 15th year of business, it’s your trust and support that fuels our mission to transform the way food scraps and organic waste is managed. This report is not just a reflection of our collective achievements but a road map for our future endeavors as we set out to build a more regenerative and resilient future, one scrap at a time, with you. 💚

Spring, we're ready for you.
The piles are heating up at Southern Soil Works, and your food scraps are in there doing something pretty incredible right now.
See you on the other side. ☀️🌱
