Turn Your Clippings Into
Compost — Not Landfill

Salons generate significant hair waste daily. Instead of sending it to landfill where hair can take centuries to break down, Hair Cycle Pickup routes your clippings to our partner composting facility — turning nitrogen-rich salon waste into nutrient-dense compost.

How It Works

Step 1

Collect Clippings

Sweep loose hair clippings into provided bins or bags — no chemicals, foils, or other salon waste.

Step 2

We Pick It Up

Schedule a pickup through Door2Dump. Our crew collects your clippings on your chosen day and time window.

Step 3

Composted at Hair Camp

We deliver your clippings to our partner composting facility where nitrogen-rich hair is processed into compost.

Why It Matters

Hair is a renewable, nitrogen-rich resource that makes excellent compost — but in landfills, it's packed so tightly it can't break down properly.
