what we do

Soil Cycle BTV is a decentralized compost network operating within the city of Burlington, VT; we collaborate with households, gardens, and gathering spaces to recycle organic scraps and build soil locally. In addition to hauling food scraps by bike, Soil Cycle BTV offers equipment and training for a neighborhood-scale, in-vessel composting system that is safe from critters and reaches hot (160 F) temperatures year-round. We transform your scraps into compost on-site or around the corner, and reapply that nourishment back into your neighborhood. The unique system we provide is intended for urban residents, specifically renters; one full cycle requires just 3 months and 20 square feet to generate 1 cubic yard of compost.
