We are completely happy with the Happy Trash Can. They make composting easy! We put our kitchen scraps in a bucket and they come and get it from us every other week. A few times over the past few years we have had some overflow...that was easy to manage also...they have collection bins at the Coop. We then get some compost from them when it is ready. Their service reduces our trash waste and puts food scraps to good use. I highly recommend Happy Trash Can Curbside Compost

I am completely happy with the Happy Trash Can Curbside Composting services that this company has provided our family over the last two years. The owners and operators of Happy Trash Can are passionate about their work and are most community minded as exemplified by offering different options for compost pick up and delivery and and subscriber discounts to Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) programs like Towne's Harvest Garden.

Love Happy Trash Can!!! I started a few years back with 1 bucket and quickly realized that I was creating more food waste than one bucket could hold! I love this company the people behind the emails doing the hard work and their excellent communication! I strongly recommend this company and service to anyone looking to make their food waste have a second life and end up in someones garden! Thanks for all the hard work to make this happen in and around Bozeman.
