Compost Crew Comes to Ellicott City!

by Kathleen Turk, Organic Solutions Associate

Compost Crew was started nearly 10 years ago in Montgomery County.  We have grown over the years to serve the District of Columbia and Northern Virginia.  Maryland is our home and we’re always looking for ways to help more homes in the Free State keep their food scraps out of the landfill. 

We’re excited to announce that Compost Crew has begun serving homes in the Village of Dorsey’s Search in Ellicott City, MD!  We now provide weekly food scrap pick-up services to residents within the village between Frederick Road and Columbia Road to the North and South and Route 29 and Old Annapolis Road on the West and East. All you have to do is separate your food scraps from recycling and trash, and we do the rest! It’s that simple.

We have an active Community Program in the area initiated by one of the residents, which provides a reduced service rate of $28 per month for a 5-gallon bin or $32 per month for a 12-gallon bin.

Our sign-up form walks you through the process of setting up your account. You can choose your bin size, and either a monthly or annual plan. When you enter your address, you can see right away if you’re in our new service area.  If not, we’ll notify you when we expand into your neighborhood.

We’re looking forward to helping more families in the Village of Dorsey’s Search and Ellicott City keep their food waste out of the trash. Please help us spread the word!
