Blue Earth Compost Celebrates 10 Years of Sustainable Impact in the Composting Industry
Hartford, CT – Blue Earth Compost, a leading force in the community composting and food scrap hauling industry, proudly announces its 10th anniversary milestone. Founded in November 2013 with a commitment to diverting food scraps from landfills, Blue Earth Compost has become the largest hauler of source-separated organics in Connecticut and ranks in the top 10% nationwide for total weight collected annually and the number of customers served.
Mission & Vision: A Decade of Impact
Blue Earth Compost was built on a fundamental belief that food scraps should be repurposed into compost, nurturing healthy soils that, in turn, support healthy communities. Over the past 10 years, the company has dedicated itself to changing the perception of "waste" by making composting accessible to homes, businesses, and events.
Since its inception, the company has collected over 40 million pounds of would-be-waste. Their work has the environmental equivalent of mitigating 83.8 million pounds of carbon dioxide, planting 62,800 seedlings or avoiding 430,000 gallons of gas. This is according to data from the US Environmental Protection Agency’s Waste Assessment Reduction Model (WARM).
By advocating for social and environmental issues, Blue Earth Compost has evolved into a force for positive change. In 2022, the company achieved B-Corp certification, recognizing its commitment to the highest standards of social and environmental impact. Scoring an impressive 95.1 points, Blue Earth Compost stands in the top 5% globally for businesses of its size, earning the distinction of being one of the "Best for the World."
