How Dirt Wain Began

Passionate about making our region cleaner & healthier

Dirt Wain's journey to becoming a leader in composting and sustainability began in 2019, when we started out with nothing but a homemade bike cart and a dream of making our region cleaner and healthier. With hard work and dedication, we've come a long way from servicing just 6 households in one neighborhood.

Today, we proudly serve more than 10 municipalities—composting their food scraps, yard waste, and pet waste—thanks in part to our unwavering commitment to the environment and our excellent customer service. But no matter how much we grow, we'll always stay true to our roots and keep working tirelessly to make a positive impact on the world around us.
