Bootstrap Compost picks up food scraps and turns them into compost. The company says it has done this since 2011 and serves the Greater Boston, Providence, Worcester and Berkshires areas. A recent Google customer called the service easy and praised its communication. A 2025 Reddit commenter said the company came to their condo building and used to pick up from their apartment in Cambridge as well. A 2025 Reddit post said the company offered Everett residents 50% off biweekly pickup. A 2021 commenter said the company picked up weekly and would also drop off small buckets of finished compost. A 2021 commenter wrote that the company took everything, including meat and bone. A 2021 commenter said it sent updates on how much they composted, though they planned to switch once their city began subsidizing a program. In 2018, a commenter said it picked up weekly or biweekly at a reasonable price, with compost available back for container gardening. Boston Magazine has published a Q&A with Andy Brooks of Bootstrap Compost.
