Invest in sustainability.
Since 2018, Little Green Bucket has proudly helped Albuquerque compost nearly 3 million pounds of food waste.
But today we’re at a pivotal moment for our business: we no longer have a reliable long term partner facility, so we must open a compost facility of our own.
We’ll need help getting started, but we know our community will rise to the occasion. With your investment we can secure a thriving future for community composting in Albuquerque.
Our Bond Offering
On March 10th, 2025, Albuquerque Compost Collection, LLC (dba Little Green Bucket) — a residential and commercial food scrap hauling company in Albuquerque, NM — announced the creation of a debt instrument in the form of bonds for the purpose of raising funds.
“Full Sun Acceleration Bonds” will afford our customers and community the opportunity to purchase $5,000 or $10,000 bonds with a promise to pay an annual interest rate of 6 percent over the duration of 6 years.* The goal of this initiative is to raise between $250,000 and $750,000.
* There is no assurance that bondholders will receive interest or return on their investment. Please reference the Risk Factors section in the Offering Circular for a list of disclosures.
This bond offering is designed primarily to give Little Green Bucket access to capital in order to successfully open a new state-registered composting facility in the Albuquerque metro area. The lack of a reliable partner facility has created existential challenges for the Company since late 2022, and opening our own facility will allow us to continue expanding residential and commercial food waste composting in the Middle Rio Grande Basin.
Our Vision
We have a bold, heart-centered vision for our new facility, which we are so excited to share with you. While food waste collection and composting will forever remain the core of our business, we also see an opportunity to enrich our community in a much deeper way by incorporating placemaking, permaculture, and community participation into our site design, in order to foster innovations in soil health, upcycling, food justice, land stewardship, circular economies, and local empowerment.
