Almost 20% of household garbage is yard and food waste that can be diverted from landfills and turned into rich compost. Compost helps lawns and gardens thrive. Residents will use less water and fertilizer and could pay less on their trash bill just by composting.

For more information, residents can visit www.bouldercountyrecycles.net under the Composting page and see a newly refreshed webpage educating residents about how to get started, where to purchase bins, what to do with finished compost, and where to find compost demonstration gardens!
