As the wise Tim Gunn would say, “Make it work!” Were always having to problem solve on the fly! But its part of the job and we love it! #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #denver #plantbased #foodwaste #sustainableliving #plasticfree #savethetrees #goinggreen #lowimpact #ecoliving #ecoconscious #earthday #earthfriendly #carbonfootprint
DID YOU KNOW Scraps has a Drop Off Member program located downtown with our premiere partner Urban Farmer? Those of you outside of our biking range can drop of your compost in this bin weekly. This is designed for members that work in or frequent downtown Denver. IN OTHER NEWS we are opening another drop off location in downtown Littleton partnering with @dirtcoffeebar ! YAY for more compost! 🚴🏼‍♀️🌿🍎🥕🍃🌱🌽🍅🍽🌏🌳💚🍓🚴🏽‍♂️ Question: Where do you want our next drop off location to be? Let us know in the comments! 😋
We’re about more than just composting. We believe that composting - diverting organic waste from the landfill & instead turning it back into a valuable soil amendment - is an easy, accessible & effective way to live more sustainably, protect our environment & climate and support our local economy. But it neither begins nor ends with composting! Not for us, and not for our community of partners and members. We’re into sustainable sourcing, sustainable transport, low-and-zero-waste operations & tapping into the circular economy as a whole. We’re into the pursuit of ever more sustainable & responsible business models. So it goes without saying, we couldn’t be more stoked that @hopalleydenver, our prime drop-off partner and composter extraordinaire in Denver, has switched to compostable straws! Eliminating single-use plastics wherever possible should be a priority for our society & our city, and it’s awesome when such well-known, well-loved restaurants decide to make these shifts, even when @therealcityofdenver hasn’t yet prioritized it by changing policy like more progressive cities have. Ultimately we hope that the cumulative impact of these small but important business & personal decisions - like banning & refusing plastic straws, and composting - will force Denver policymakers to catch up to what the people of this city want. We simply can’t wait around & tolerate business-as-usual in the meantime! 💚♻️🌱✅🥂🍹#sustainablecity #sustainabledenver #compostmore #compost #sustainablerestaurant #refusethestraw #refusesingleuse #compostablestraws #reducereuserecycle #greencommunity #greenisgood #localbusiness #localleadership #5280restaurants #denverrestaurants

HAPPY HAPPY NEW YEAR! 🌱 💚 🏔 🥦 🥒 🌎 🍁 🌳 🚲 We have had such a wonderful year of scrapping for our Denver community! Over 200,000lbs of food scraps have been diverted from landfill since we started back in 2017. That’s like NOT driving 175,000 miles in average car. Hell to the YEAH!!! And this is all thanks to our amazing members that are on this sustainability mission with us. - This year up your zero-waste game! Challenge yourself to make little efforts to reduce single use plastic. Maybe it’s bringing your own snacks from home. Investing in water bottle, or riding your bike/walking to dinner. It doesn’t have to be big, making a small change in your everyday life can make a difference! - Shoutout to our wonderful members who made our Monday morning route a little extra special with these holiday treats! - #zerowaste #zerowasteliving #denver #plantbased #foodwaste #sustainableliving #plasticfree #savethetrees #goinggreen #lowimpact #ecoliving #ecoconscious #earthday #earthfriendly #carbonfootprint
