A New Generation
of Waste Warriors
We don’t just collect food scraps.
We cultivate future stewards of the planet.
Compost Clubhouse started with a mother and a group of middle schoolers in Grandview, Ohio, going door-to-door with a bold mission: “change the world one bucket at a time.” What began as a grassroots initiative has blossomed into a movement that now serves schools, cities, and businesses across Central Ohio.
Founded in 2020 and rebranded under the leadership of Tia Johnson in 2022, Compost Clubhouse empowers youth and community leaders alike to participate in sustainable food waste practices. With a proven record in both residential and commercial collection, we now support municipal sites, stadiums, restaurants, and educational institutions through EPA-compliant and SWACO-aligned composting programs.
Impact
Growth. Enrichment. Nourishment.
Composting isn’t just about waste. It’s about planting resilience.
Compost Clubhouse is creating a culture of sustainability in Central Ohio. From classroom presentations to residential drop-offs, we equip people with the tools and training to divert food scraps from landfills and return nutrients to the earth.
- 20,000+ lbs of food waste diverted in 2024
- “Adopt-A-Bin” education kits in K–2 classrooms
- Composting programs across schools, municipalities, and multi-family communities
- Youth-led events and public campaigns driving food waste awareness
