Fertile Ground Cooperative is a worker-owned cooperative committed to reducing waste and supporting a healthier planet through composting and sustainable practices. They produce compost with the help of the Oklahoma City community, turning our waste into beautiful compost. Front yard weekly pickup just like trash and recycle makes this the easiest way to compost!

Your bucket gets swapped out and waste is processed at one of Fertile Grounds community compost sites. Additionally, you receive a 5 gallon bucket of finished compost each spring and 10% off bulk compost purchases!
