Feed Your PlantsAdd our worm castings to your soil at a rate of 20% of total soil volume or purchase our ready made potting mixes, which are 100% renewable and peat moss free. All purchases help support our Cincinnati compost program. We can do better for our plants, soil, and ourselves together!

Compost in Greater Cincinnati
There are a lot of ways to reduce your waste. We've all seen metal straws and bamboo utensils become more widely available, but what do we do about our food waste? The average American wastes 250 lbs/year of food (USDA), which has a big impact on our environment. That is why Back2TheDirt offers compost pickup and drop off for the Greater Cincinnati area. Whether you are an apartment dweller with no space to compost, a homeowner without the time, or an environmentally-conscientious business, we can help. By becoming a member you will get:
+Weekly/Biweekly pickups or drop-offs +Food-grade buckets and lids +Compost Question Support +Get Worm Castings & Product Discounts +Reduced carbon footprint.

"The soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all...Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life."

We believe many small acts of kindness can change the world.
"Back2TheDirt is my way of trying to make a change in my small corner of the world (Cincinnati). But none of it would be possible without all of you. Yes, you! By choosing to compost our food waste, by giving back to the soil, and by learning to grow plants—we make a difference that extends far beyond just us."

I’m so happy to be able to return my vegetable waste back to the dirt!! I tried composting myself and it just didn’t work for me. This is a great option and I get wonderful compost back for my garden. Thank you, Katie and your worms!!

I also HIGHLY recommend back2thedirt. Katie is wonderful, her service is impeccable AND i feel so good about composting. I, too, had been looking for ways to reduce waste going to landfill, then i heard about Katie. I love her service.

I love Back2theDirt’s mission! Katie makes composting easy. I enjoy receiving monthly metrics of how much food waste is diverted from landfills. I also really like getting the worm castings - my plants are thriving!

Back to The Dirt is a very interesting business model. Never thought I'd pay someone to compost for me. I feel 'good' about paying someone to compost for me as I see it as my continued effort to reduce my carbon footprint and be part of the solution for our global climate crisis.

We tried backyard composting with little luck. After we met Katie at the farmers market, we immediately knew that her service was for us! We easily fill our bucket weekly and love that she keeps us posted about how much food waste we are keeping out of the landfill. We look forward to continuing our composting with Katie and the worms through the winter!
