Full Cycle Compost
A Worker-Owned Bicycle-Powered Compost Service in Arcata, CA
*Unceded homelands of the Wiyot Tribe* We provide you with a five-gallon bucket.
One of our riders will come each week to collect your compostables. We will turn it into compost at the Jacoby Creek Land Trust farm and the Arcata Community Health and Wellness Garden. It’s the full cycle, realized!

Looking for somewhere to leave your leaves? If you have more leaves than you need, you’d be welcome to drop them off for us to incorporate into our compost! Leaves are a wonderful source of carbon, and can make for a great balance with the food scraps we regularly collect.
If you’re interested, feel free to drop leaves off near our sawdust pile (as pictured) outside the gates of Bayside Park Farm. If you see a sign marking the pile as Full Cycle Compost, you’re in the right place, or feel free to reach out with questions :)
