About Us

Our Mission:

Organic waste makes up almost 20% of New York’s waste stream. In landfill, this organic waste decays releasing harmful methane gas into the air which has 20x as great a greenhouse effect as C02. However, composting puts your waste to work: growing plants, making healthier soil, and actually reducing our greenhouse footprint. 3Z Compost seeks to eliminate a large part of New York’s organic waste stream and bring New York City closer to Zero Waste by providing convenient and daily composting.  At 3Z Compost, we convert your spare change into Environmental Change. ​

“Never doubt that a small group of thoughtful, committed citizens can change the world; indeed, it is the only thing that ever has.”

– Margaret Mead
