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.  

 

How Does Drop Off Food Scrap Composting Work?

Buckets

Get the code and grab your bucket – use any 4-5 gallon container that works for you.

Food Scrap

Fill your bucket with any food waste – meat, dairy, bones and vegan products. Remember – no compostable packaging!

Dropoff Return

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.

Bag Drop

Dump the contents of your bucket into the receptacle at the farm. Remove any green bags from your collections.

Lock Up

Make sure to lock up and keep the combo facing out – be kind to others!

Repeat

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!
