What is Shift?

Shift is a compost pickup service built on a mission of self-sustainability and independence. It all started with a garden I planted in memory of my grandfather, a space that symbolized resilience and the power of growing for yourself. I wanted that garden to thrive, but I didn’t want to rely on store-bought solutions. So, I started collecting food waste, turning scraps into fuel for growth, and quickly saw the impact. That small act sparked something bigger. Now, Shift helps individuals and families across Massachusetts and Southern New Hampshire take control of their waste and turn it into something meaningful. It’s about building something together, from the ground up.

What are the benefits of composting?

Composting turns your everyday food scraps into nutrient-rich soil, cutting down on landfill waste and harmful emissions. It’s a simple way to reduce your carbon footprint, support local agriculture, and keep valuable resources in use. Plus, it helps build healthier gardens, cleaner communities, and a more sustainable future—for all of us.
