In 2009, Tim Bennett wanted to compost. Unfortunately, he was living in a second story South Philly apartment and wasn’t sure how to get started. After talking with some friends at dinner about it, he realized he wasn’t alone. It was a light bulb moment. He put $100 in a bank account and '''Bennett Compost''' was born.

DIRTY HANDS, CLEAN SOUL
OUR MISSION + THE PEOPLE THAT MAKE IT HAPPEN
In 2009, Tim Bennett wanted to compost. Unfortunately, he was living in a second story South Philly apartment and wasn’t sure how to get started. After talking with some friends at dinner about it, he realized he wasn’t alone. It was a light bulb moment. He put $100 in a bank account and Bennett Compost was born.
Since then our team and process has continued to evolve. Currently, Bennett Compost picks up from over 5,000 households and businesses every week, keeping over 70 tons of material out of the landfill every month.
In 2018, Jennifer Mastalerz joined Tim as an owner of the business. An architect by training, Jen had been composting since 2010. She first got her hands dirty composting with Philly Compost and then went on to start her own bike-powered composting business in Fishtown.
