THIS IS FOR YOU IF
You’ve thought about composting, but…
✔ You don’t have the time or space
✔ You’ve tried it and it didn’t stick
✔ You live in a flat or small space
✔ You want to grow food without chemicals
✔ You want an easier way to deal with food waste
This is a simple way to take part.
How it works
It's simple.
1. You collect your food scraps at home
That’s the loop:
Food → Compost → Soil → Food
2. We collect and compost them locally
3. Living compost is returned to you

What It’s Like to Take Part
At home, it's designed to fit into everyday life.
Food scraps go into a small, sealed bucket, no smell, no flies, no mess. It sits under the sink, in a cupboard, or anywhere that works for you. No garden needed. No outdoor bin required.
When your bucket is full, you request a swap through your member portal. We collect on Mondays and leave you a clean one.
That's it. Most members spend about 30 seconds a day on this.
As a member, you receive:
✔ A clean, airtight bucket and bokashi system
✔ Food waste collection on request
✔ Living compost returned to you over time
✔ Ongoing support and guidance
✔ Access to workshops, events, and the food forest
No garden needed. No complicated setup. Cancel anytime.
