Local Food Scrap Composting

Compost Queen is proud to partner with Sagrada Botanical Gardens in West Fort Collins. This 1.7 acre parcel is being built as a community botanical garden in the heart of Fort Collins, Colorado. Their Mission is to reconnect sustainable food and natural medicine practices to the community through the development of community land providing edible and medicinal gardens, organic farm to table food, education and regenerative land experiences.

Compost Queen will be collecting food scraps for composting at Sagrada Botanical Gardens and managing on site compost operations. Active aerobic composting at accelerates the process of renewing carbon resources into nutrient dense soil amendments. This process closes the loop from spent carbon resources to enriching new carbon resources, starting the food cycle over again.

We Make Composting Easy!

How Does Drop Off Food Scrap Composting Work?

Pick up your green Compost Queen bucket from the farm. They’ll be in our drop container, and your welcome email will have instructions.

Fill your bucket with acceptable compostable items. We’re not taking meat, dairy or compostable packaging to start.

Bring the bucket back to the farm once you fill it up! Take a breath and enjoy the serenity before you go back to your busy life.

Dump the contents of your bucket into the receptacle at the farm. Don’t tie your green bags please!

Take a new compostable bag to line your green bucket and help keep it clean. These are provided in the compost drop container.

Come back when your bucket is full or when you just need a break from the normal day. Keep an eye out for special farm events and goodies!

I always felt like I shouldn't be just throwing away food scraps, but didn't have the time or space to start composting myself. So glad to have a service like this in Fort Collins!

I wanted to compost, but I had no idea where to start. Compost Queen made it easy for me to have high quality compost for my garden from my very own food scraps!

Now that we're cooking from home so often, we noticed how much food scraps we were sending to the landfill. Compost Queen really makes a difference and helps us take action to keep Colorado beautiful!
