Monthly pickup for hard‑to‑recycle items with optional weekly compost pickup.

EcoCycle is your monthly hard‑to‑recycle pickup service — created to make sustainable living effortless. We collect the everyday items that can’t go in your curbside bin and too often end up in the trash simply because proper disposal is confusing or inconvenient. We handle everything responsibly, ensuring these materials are recycled or processed correctly so they stay out of the landfill.

Ensure even more of your household waste stays out of the landfill by adding weekly compost pickup powered by The Compost Exchange.

Why EcoCycle Exists

  • Because doing the right thing shouldn’t be hard.

    Most people want to recycle responsibly — but the items that matter most are the hardest to deal with. Batteries, lightbulbs, coffee pods, small electronics, water filters, and specialty plastics like grocery bags don’t belong in the trash, but they also don’t belong in your curbside bin. So they pile up in drawers, sit in garages, or get thrown away simply because the process is confusing, inconvenient, or time‑consuming.

    EcoCycle solves that problem completely.

  • We take the frustration, the research, the driving, and the guesswork out of responsible recycling.

    You set your items out once a month. We handle everything else — safely, correctly, and in partnership with trusted local recycling programs. No more storing bags of batteries. No more wondering where to take old chargers. No more guilt about tossing coffee pods or lightbulbs because you don’t have time to deal with them.


    EcoCycle is the simplest way to keep harmful materials out of the landfill and out of your home.
    It’s a premium service because it delivers something priceless: peace of mind, environmental impact, and a cleaner, simpler life.


    One subscription. Zero hassle.
    Just a home — and a planet — cared for the right way.
