We email you the padlock codes for our drop-off locations. (We change the lock codes periodically)
Bring your foodscraps and compostable materials in a bucket or compostable bag and drop them in our bins!
You can also bring leaves or other acceptable yard waste (no branches or weeds!) in a separate bag and leave next to our bins.
Access the drop off sites 24 \ 7
Gunnison: @ City Market on N Main St.
Why Compost?
Up to 30% of waste going into our landfill is compostable and could be recycled into soil products
Composting reduces greenhouse gas emissions by up to 95% compared to landfilling where organic waste rots and produces toxic methane gases.
The compost and soil products we make support local agriculture and help close the loop on our food systems
Our businesses is locally owned and operated - by joining our programs, you're supporting sustainable green jobs in our community
