Compost Culture
Compost Culture is a nonprofit organization dedicated to composting for the environment and cultivating a culture of sustainability.
We provide a curbside organics pickup service as well as a Farmer's Market Outreach and education program. Our Curbside Organic Waste Pickup Service will pick up your compostable food scraps on a weekly basis (with dates and hours decided upon your sign up). We participate in the South Pasadena Farmer's Market every Thursday where we collect food scraps for nonresidents and give away free compost on the first Thursday of each month. (more info about both these services on the website)

Too Good to Go takes the food that grocery stores throw out and sells them for less! WHAT A STEAL! With Too Good to Go, your average grocery run will amount to much less $$$ CHECK IT OUT!
