Composting services on the Front Range
Scraps makes composting more approachable and accessible for both businesses and households, diverting millions of pounds of organic material from landfills to instead return to our soils.
For your home
From apartment dwellers to single-family homes, bachelors and bachelorettes to a busy full house, we make composting easy, affordable and provide all the resources you need. Available across the Denver Metro area.
Please note we no longer service individual units in condos & apartments. Please use our commercial inquiry form to start the process for your whole building to compost with us, or check out our drop-off programs.
For your business or multi-family building
Scraps is here for our region’s restaurants, commercial kitchens & food producers; for our schools, colleges & other campuses; for commercial office & retail spaces large and small; for condominiums, apartment buildings & HOAs of all sizes; even for entire cities & communities. We’ve helped thousands of customers create lasting composting & waste diversion programs, and we can’t wait for you to join us.
* If you live in or represent a condo or apartment building, start here! *

Frequently Asked Qs -
In your garden or in the field, finished compost nourishes and improves the soil where our farmers labor and our food is grown. It even helps the soil do some of its big jobs better – like absorbing runoff & rainfall, or even trapping carbon for the long-term & fighting climate change.
