Michelle Horneff-Cohen is a recovering San Francisco residential property manager of over 25 years and the Founder of Clean Composting Company. After years of managing multifamily buildings under San Francisco’s organics mandates and experiencing ongoing contamination challenges and fines, she realized the barrier wasn’t the residents, it was the system. In 2017, while cleaning up after dinner, she had the “lightbulb moment” that led her to invent The Compost Collector®, the world’s first tossable 100% pre-consumer, PFAS-free, molded fiber paper pulp container with lid designed for easy organics collection for curbside composting. Her work focuses on practical tools that make composting compliance achievable, especially in dense multifamily housing.
“Composting doesn’t fail at the curb, it fails in the kitchen. Once that step becomes simple, everything else starts to work.”
What to buy: The Compost Collector® is a simple, countertop container designed to make food scrap collection easier in everyday kitchens. Made from 100% pre-consumer, PFAS-free molded paper pulp, it allows households to collect scraps throughout the week and then transfer them directly to a curbside organics bin or backyard compost system. It’s a practical way to simplify the step of composting that often gets overlooked.
