Compost: A Simple, Powerful Solution
Instead of wasting away in landfills, organic materials can fuel Colorado’s future.
When food scraps and yard waste are buried, they release methane, a greenhouse gas more than 30 times stronger than carbon dioxide. Every time we compost, we:
- Cut methane emissions that fuel climate change
- Build healthy soils that conserve water and support local farms and gardens
- Return nutrients back to the earth, creating a true circular economy
- Strengthen Colorado’s communities by building a more sustainable future together
The Colorado Composting Council (COCC) welcomes everyone to take part in this movement. Join the COCC and make Colorado a leader in organics sustainability. Together, we can protect what makes our state thrive: our air, land, water, and community.
