Kaicycle Composting for Businesses
Weekly collection subscription
How it works: We provide you with one or more 20-litre Kaicycle buckets to keep in your kitchen, and swap it with a fresh one each week. We collect using ebikes, not trucks - very low-carbon!
Cost: $77+GST/month, for up to 20 litres collected weekly. Up to two additional 20-L buckets can be provided for an additional $77+GST/month each. We offer a discounted rate for fellow nonprofits, of $44+GST/month per bucket.
Sign up: You can sign up via the Living Compost Hubs app, or email us at compost@kaicycle.org.nz.

What happens to your food scraps? We turn them into beautiful compost over a 3-6 month composting process. This compost is donated to local community gardens, marae and schools, and used on our urban farm in Newtown. We will begin compost sales later in 2024 to help cover costs, while continuing our donations - watch this space!
What we accept
Please click here to see what we do and don’t accept. We work hard to avoid contamination in our compost, and need your support with this.
We help grow food—not landfills.
Kaicycle has been collecting and composting food scraps for Wellington businesses and households since 2015. We are strong advocates for composting systems that operate on a local scale, support urban soil regeneration and food production, and generate a range of benefits for the community and environment.
