Wompost: Worker owned composting.
We are a neighborhood company in Northwest Aurora. Wompost provides you with a simple way to recycle your biodegradable waste into compost. Just like curbside trash and recycling pickup, we pickup your food scraps and yard waste once a week from your house. Our vision is to provide composting to make compost collection available to every single person in Colorado who wants it.
Step 1
Sign Up for Weekly Compost Pickup. We'll send you a bin and compostable bags to collect your organics waste: kitchen and yard waste. See a list of compostable items.
|
step 2
Once a week, set your bin on your curb for pickup. Your pickup day will depend on your address. We'll pickup your compost and bring it to a composting facility.
|
step 3
Your waste turns to gold! We give the finished compost back to you in the Spring, Summer, and Fall. You earn 5 gallons of compost for every month you are a member.

Price too high?
|
|
If the home pickup price seems too high for your monthly budget, PLEASE contact us. I offer a generous, need-based discount. We use this fee to cover weekly bags, bringing a substantial amount of compost back to customers, and paying a living wage in Aurora. We are committed to compensating fairly for this hard work. If you can afford it, we give great value for the price!

Reasons To Compost
Literally- tons of good so far.

help the environment
By composting, the average family can divert 500 pounds of waste from filling landfills and polluting our air and water supply. Composting also sequesters carbon dioxide, and prevents methane emissions from the landfill.

Reduce your trash
Our process is simple. We charge a basic fee to pick up every week. We're here so that one day you can cancel your trash service! Check out Wompost's blog for an account of a zero waste household goal.

Build Healthy SoilThe goal is to open our own composting facility in the next few years. Then we can create our own healthy soil amendments for gardens in the neighborhood! Using compost in a farm or garden fixes carbon into the soil, out of the atmosphere.

Commercial Service
We can service restaurants, catering companies, offices, and events.
