Discover Green and Clean Waste Management with Easy Composting Tips | Grove Collaborative
A small step toward no-waste living How to start your composting journey.
Explore easy, doable ways to turn food scraps into soil.
While composting might sound like an activity reserved for people with ample space and endless time, it’s actually one of the lowest-lift, most impactful ways to reduce waste. Food scraps and organic waste make up nearly 30% of what we toss in the trash, and when sent to landfills, they generate methane, a greenhouse gas more potent than carbon dioxide.[1] The good news? You don’t need a huge yard or trove of prior knowledge to start composting. You just need a few starter tips and some easy-to-obtain tools. Then, you can turn everything from coffee grounds and veggie peels to your compostable Grove packaging into nutrient-rich soil — and divert methane from landfills. Trust us: Composting is completely doable, and totally worth it.
How to compost in any space, from apartment to house
- Start small and get a single countertop bin. Look for a lidded compost pail to collect scraps like fruit peels, eggshells, coffee grounds, and veggie trimmings. Keep it near your sink or trash can for easy access.
- Be sure that you know exactly what to compost. Stick with “greens” (produce scraps, plant trimmings, coffee grounds) and “browns” (compostable paper towels, shredded paper, and cardboard). Avoid meat, dairy, and anything greasy.
- Customize your method to your home. Short on indoor counter space? Try a worm bin or an electric composter like Lomi® that fits compactly in your kitchen. No outdoor space? Drop compost off rat a local composting program or farmer’s market. Have a yard? Traditional bins or compost tumblers work great outdoors.
- If you’re collecting scraps to drop off, use certified compostable bags to keep things tidy and sustainable.
- Be patient. Composting is a process, but it's incredibly rewarding — and when done correctly, totally scentless too.

What to do with your compost
So, you’ve collected your scraps and composted them beautifully. Now what?
-Feed your houseplants. Sprinkle a thin layer of finished compost on top of your indoor soil to boost nutrients. Think of it as an instant vitamin shot for even your most delicate plants.
-Sprinkle compost in outdoor planters and garden beds. Mix compost directly into the soil to support root health and encourage thriving flowers, herbs, and veggies.
-Take advantage of your local compost bins. Many cities now offer curbside compost pickup or drop-off sites. Just transfer your finished compost to their collection bin, and they’ll put it to work for local soil regeneration or landscaping projects.
Composting can make a big difference! Even a small amount! It’s one of the simplest ways to reduce waste and help something grow — all from your own kitchen.
