ReCollective OneStop Compost Service
Composting service for homes, businesses, and communities across Durham, Raleigh, Chapel Hill, and Cary.
Compost Services simplified. ReCollective OneStop combines your Hard-to-Recycle membership with door-to-door pickup of your food scraps!
Convenience
The ReCollective is your OneStop solution to reducing household waste! We pick up food scraps and other compostables just like we do your hard-to-recycle canvas bags – from your doorstep!
Choose Your Reward
Twice a year you’ll have the choice to receive compost back or free add-on specialty recycling to your monthly ReCo pickup as a reward for keeping all those food scraps out of the landfill!
Flexibility
Whether you’re on our twice monthly or weekly OneStop plan, you choose when we pick up your ReCo Hard-To-Recycle items as well! Choose the week that works best for you every month.
The ReCollective also offers a community-based composting program, providing communities with convenient, centralized drop-off locations. Learn more and access your community dashboard!

How it Works

You’ll receive a 4-gallon bin to fill up with your food scraps. We collect your bin on your scheduled collection days and once a month we’ll collect your canvas recycling bags at the same time (you choose!)!
2
You’ll receive a clean purple bin and clean canvas bags each time our team collects them!

Earn rewards as you divert your food scraps from the landfill! Twice a year you’ll have the option to receive a bucket of compost back for your garden or free add-on specialty recycling.

Food Scrap service is not in my area. When will it be available?
The ReCollective offers compost service in parts of Durham, Raleigh, Cary, Morrisville, and Chapel Hill. We plan to continue expansion of composting service near others in the community in the coming months and throughout 2025.
Do you offer a Food Scrap-only service plan?
We only offer Food Scrap pickup as an add-on to our Hard-to-Recycle Plans. If you’re looking for a standalone compost doorstep pickup service near you, there are two other options available in the area that might meet your needs : Green Waste Company and CompostNow.
The ReCollective now offers a Community Compost drop-off option, available as a standalone service separate from Hard-To-Recycle home pickup.

In the Raleigh, Durham, and Chapel Hill area we are lucky to have many composting options! Check out these free options near you: Wake County, Town of Cary, City of Durham, and Orange County.
