Our mission

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.

Home - For Your Home

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.

    Frequently Asked Qs
  • Accordion - From Scraps To Soil

    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.
