What our composting partners have to say:

“When we opened in 2022, setting up a composting program was one of our top priorities to minimize our impact on the environment both globally and locally. Compost Nashville helped us implement that program seemingly overnight in a very seamless and hassle free manner. They’ve also offered endless support, answering our questions and helping us adapt as we’ve continued to grow.”
Hunter Freemont,
Flora & Fauna
“Getting the opportunity to work with Compost Nashville gives us so many educational opportunities. The nice thing about Compost Nashville is they accept anything organic so you don’t have to worry about meat, bones, or processed foods. There’s something really freeing about not having to fully think about the process and let someone who is an expert take over for you.”
Jessica Steele,
Friends of Warner Parks
