About Us

Who we are:

We are a local family who are stewards of the environment working to keep food scraps out of landfills and making the world a better place for generations to come. 

What we offer:

In 2017, Back to Earth Compost Crew began to offer easy to use home/office/restaurant/catering food scrap pick up in Suburban Philadelphia. 


Looking to compost in your yard? We also offer compost education and consults. Email us at backtoearthcompost@gmail.com

Why food scrap pick-up service?

With 30-40% of the food supply ending up in landfills it is imperative that we make a change to our old systems.  Back to Earth Compost Crew will be your partner as you change old habits or add to your current green habits.
