Can You Compost Paper and Compostable goods?

Lately there has been a lot of discussion about what exactly is compostable in Colorado.  Most companies are changing their policies.  However, we are sticking with ALL compostable waste.  We can take paper waste, and BPI certified compostable goods like compostable trays, cutlery, plates, cups, and K-cups.

Why is this?  We do not bring our compostable waste to A1 Organics, like 99% of the other compost haulers.  We haul to GFL's facility in Bennett Colorado.  It is much smaller, and doesn't deal with the volume of contamination that A1 is facing.  So keep composting with us, and we can take all your items.

We do have 1 request from GFL - could you please start shredding your cardboard?  Otherwise, it doesn't break down as quickly as the other items, gets sifted out, and sent to the landfill.

Wompost provides 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.  Then we get finished compost back to you.   Our vision is to provide compost collection available to every single person in Colorado who wants it.

Step 1

Sign Up for Weekly Compost Pickup or Drop-Off, or set up a One Time Pickup. We'll provide a bucket to collect your organic waste: kitchen and yard waste.  See a list of compostable items.

step 2

Drop off whenever convenient for you  at our drop-off locations.  Or, set your bin out  weekly for compost pickup, and we'll collect.  We'll bring your biodegradable waste to a composting facility.

step 3

Your waste turns to gold!  You earn 60 gallons of finished loose compost every year. We deliver the earned compost 3 times per year.  If you are not a member, you can purchase compost for bulk delivery here.

Wompost is a Proud Member of Zero Food Print

We contribute 1% of our new revenue to Carbon Farming Projects here in Colorado.  Right now, those funds go to McCauley Family Farm in Longmont.  With the funds, they will purchase and apply compost to 20 acres pf degraded range land and plant perennials.  This will pull bad carbon from our atmosphere and turn it to good carbon in their soil.  Photo credit above from Photography for a Change
