Happy National Hot Dog Day, Detroit! 🌭♻️

I hope y'all are celebrating! Got leftover buns, mystery meats, or half-eaten hot dogs after the cookout? Don’t trash them—compost them with Scrap Soils!

What sets us apart from backyard composting?

We are able to compost at a larger-scale with high-heat compost piles that reach the temperatures needed to safely break down meats, breads, and other items you can’t compost at home. That means we can handle your BBQ scraps and kill off harmful pathogens in the process.

🌭 Weekly pickups for just $15/month
🌭 15 gallons of compost back to you annually

🌭 Join an awesome network of community composters

Turn your grill scraps into garden gold. Let’s grill, chill, and compost—link in bio! 🔥🌱

(If you use ketchup on your hot dog you get up-charged $5 - jk)
