Compost Products for Sale
We now have compost that’s gone all the way through our custom process.
Our feedstock mix: Food scraps from neighborhood restaurants, neighbors’ kitchen scraps, wood chips from local arborists, and some fall leaves.
Our process: First, we use aerobic, in-vessel composting to achieve the temperatures needed to kill pathogens and weed seeds (130+ degrees for at least 3 days). Second, our worms go to work! We used mix of red wigglers and nightcrawlers that further break down the compost and add their castings to our final product.
What you get: professionally handmade local compost from right here in Philadelphia. Your plants and our planet will thank you for using our compost!
How to get it: send us an email and then pick it up at our retail distribution location.

The Earth Tub
Philly Compost is pleased to announce our partnership with Green Mountain Technologies, maker of the Earth Tub!
Designed specifically for on-site composting of food wastes, the Earth Tub is a fully enclosed composting vessel featuring power mixing, compost aeration, and biofiltration of all process air. This self-contained unit is ideal for composting at schools, universities, restaurants, hospitals and supermarkets.
If you are interested in learning more about how this system could be used at your location, please contact us and we’ll be happy to visit your site. We are using this system at our processing facility, and look forward to opening up for tours and drop-off services.
Aerated Static Pile MicroBins
We are experimenting with MicroBins, originally designed by O2Compost for composting horse barn manure and bedding. This system uses forced aeration from a blower on a timer to achieve the desired temperatures for aerobic composting. Each bin is 4’x4’x4’.
There are 5 of these in operation at our site, with 2 more under construction. Our first harvest of materials showed that the system works for composting food waste mixed with wood chips.
Our next adventure will be to use this method of aeration with “static piles” on the ground. Stay tuned!
