A compost station in Coconut Grove

Donation protected


We are creating a compost station in Coconut Grove
(a beautiful neighbor of Miami, FL). All Coconut Grove residents and beyond will be able to drop their organic waste. Our back2earth team will take care of this waste and transform it into compost.

This compost will then be donated and sold to people who want to use it for their garden, to grow vegetables, fruits or flowers.

Our mission with back2earth  is to stop organic waste from reaching landfills in the most eco-friendly way, by providing an easy way to do compost without all the dirty work. Grow gardens, not landfills!


Our story begins from a problem in our current society; food waste and its final destination in landfills, only to produce harmful greenhouse gases. In response to the little amount of human action against this problem, we decided to act on a community level, but impact on a global scale.

We created our first compost station in South Miami in January 2018. We collect organic waste from more than 100 houses.

Our first compost station in South Miami...

back2earth is a non-profit organization in Miami, founded by 4 kids, Emma, Anna, Mila and Ugo Angeletti.

Why we are funding? Why do we need your help?      

We pick up buckets every Saturday in South Miami...

The purpose of this funding is to be able to equip this new station with the tools, materials, and resources needed in order to collect the waste and facilitate the composting process. Even though each station does not require significant expenses, making this funding will allow us to spend an additional amount of money on sharing and getting the word out to the residents of Coconut Grove.

The new station in Coconut Grove...

We have already flattened the land at the new station to accommodate for the arrival of the mulch... One of the materials needed when making compost.
