How it Works
We provide affordable and convenient composting services for both residential and commercial needs in Evergreen, Colorado, and nearby mountain towns.
For a monthly fee, you can drop off accepted food scraps each week at our private bin located near the Community Gardens at Buchanan Park. In the spring, we'll notify you when your free, nutrient-rich compost is ready for collection, completing the cycle.

Why Join?
When organic material is composted instead of sent to a landfill, it becomes a powerful tool in the fight against climate change.
Here are some key reasons composting reduces waste and pollution, builds healthy soil and communities, and supports a thriving circular economy:
Avoids methane emissions from landfills
Builds healthy soils that produce more nutritious food
Helps soils retain water, reducing drought impacts and demand for water
Absorbs atmospheric carbon dioxide, helping to reduce climate impacts
Creates 5X as many jobs as the landfill industry per ton of waste processed
