Compost Pickup Services
Sign up for Natural Upcycling (formerly Curbside Compost) to have your household food scraps picked up every Friday. This is a great option to reduce your food waste with minimal effort.
Participation is as simple as purchasing a locking curbside bin from Bedford 2030 for $30, filling it up over the course of the week, and leaving it out for curbside pickup on Friday mornings.
Please email info@bedford2030.org to purchase a locking curbside compost bin. You may also purchase compostable bags for your bin if you wish.
Thank you for your interest in composting and for your commitment to environmental sustainability. We look forward to reducing waste and learning more about food scrap recycling with you. Please feel free to email us with questions and keep in touch about your composting experience.

FAQs
Where do my food scraps go?
The food scraps hauled away by the curbside hauler will go to an industrial composting facility (New Milford Farms, CT) and the resulting compost will be used by farms to enhance their soil to grow food.
Can I get compost to use on my garden?
The Town of Bedford composts leaves and other yard waste at the Westwood Recycling Facility at 115 Beaver Dam Road. Residents may obtain compost and wood chips free of charge at this location.
* The Natural Upcycling (formerly Curbside Compost) pilot project has been funded in part by the Climate Smart Communities Grant Program, Title 15 of the Environmental Protection Fund through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and in connection with the Town of Bedford, NY.
