Happy Trash

Can Compost

We are closing the loop on food waste by turning food scraps into compost in the heart of Bozeman, Montana. We are building resilient systems, regeneration, and restoring the soil instead of depleting it. We haul, process, and distribute compost locally.

Feeding the soil one bucket at a time!

Finished

Compost

Collected and crafted in the heart of Bozeman, MT.

Our mission is to make affordable and quality compost right here in Bozeman. Created from local food waste feedstock and circled back into the soils of local farmers, gardeners, and our subscribers!

About Us

Established by husband & wife duo Ryan Green & Adrienne Huckabone. After working in high density composting, the arts and agriculture, we decided to bring our skills back home to give this little business idea a go!

We started with an on-farm compost pile and a shovel back in 2016. Ryan was working on Strike Farm and we started working with the Bozeman Food Co-Op with just 3 bins!

We now pick up from households and businesses all over the region, and collect just over 2.5 million pounds of food scraps annually! 100% of that we process into finished compost and it closes the loop back to local soil.

Our Partners

From restaurants, to grocery stores, schools, to households, to farms, to gardens, and all back again. We couldn’t do our work without the important support of our community composters.
