Sign-up for Denver’s Free Weekly Compost Service 

Good news! The City and County of Denver is introducing free, citywide compost service to all remaining neighborhoods in Denver during the first quarter of 2025. If you use the City of Denver’s solid waste collection services, you can now sign up to receive a green compost cart.  

Compost carts are offered in two sizes (65 or 95 gallons) and will be collected weekly. Letters with instructions on how to sign up for compost service have been mailed to all remaining solid waste customers, but you can also visit this page to learn more about signing up. All requests received by January 10 will be delivered by the end of March. Should a resident miss the initial deadline, they are still able to opt in and will receive their preferred cart size beginning in March after the accelerated delivery initiative is complete. 

To support the accelerated rollout of compost service, recycling carts will be collected bi-weekly and large item pickup will change to an every-nine-week schedule beginning in January 2025. For more information on service changes coming in 2025, visit the Expanded Waste Collection Service page. 

Help Denver cut down on landfill waste by signing up for compost service today! To learn more about composting in Denver, click here.  

Regístrese para recibir el servicio de abono semanal gratuito de Denver 

¡Buenas noticias! La ciudad y el condado de Denver están implementando un servicio gratuito de compostaje en todos los vecindarios restantes de la ciudad durante el primer trimestre de 2025. Si utiliza los servicios de recolección de residuos sólidos de la ciudad de Denver, ahora puede inscribirse para recibir un contenedor verde de compostaje verde.

Los contenedores para compostaje se ofrecen en dos tamaños (65 o 95 galones) y se recogerán semanalmente. Se han enviado cartas con instrucciones sobre cómo registrarse para el servicio de compostaje a todos los clientes restantes de desechos sólidos, pero también puede visitar la página de lanzamiento de compostaje para obtener más información. Todas las solicitudes recibidas antes del 10 de enero se entregarán a finales de marzo. Si no cumple con la fecha límite inicial, aún puede inscribirse y recibir el tamaño de contenedor que prefiera después de que se complete la iniciativa de entrega rápida.

Para respaldar la implementación rápida del servicio de compostaje, los carritos de reciclaje se recogerán quincenalmente y la recolección de artículos grandes cambiará a un cronograma cada nueve semanas a partir de enero de 2025. Para obtener más información sobre los cambios en el servicio, visite la página de Servicios Ampliados de Recolección de Residuos.

Ayude a Denver a reducir la cantidad de desechos en los vertederos, registrándose hoy mismo para el servicio de compostaje. Para obtener más información, haga clic aquí.
