Let’s put an end to food waste.
In the La Plata County region, about 40% of what goes to our landfills is food & other organic matter. This is a total waste – for our community, our soil, our farmers, and our climate.

![If you support removing organic matter from our local waste stream, let your voice be heard at the City Council meeting, TONIGHT, November 19TH, 5:30pm at City Hall (949 E. 2nd Ave).
It's been five years since T2F and the City of Durango partnered up to explore and expand organic waste diversion from the landfill through curbside food scrap pickup. Should we continue as is (serving 800 households) or should we meet the original goal to attain citywide composting so that no organics rot in the landfill and contribute to catastrophic climate change?
Strong public opinion and comment is critical any time the City Council considers new initiatives and service changes. Share your vocal support for composting and a landfill free of polluting organic waste, enabling City Council members to proceed with confidence.
Can't attend in person? No problem! Join via the zoom link on the City Council's website: https://www.durangoco.gov/169/City-Council
Members of the public have three minutes to speak on any issue. Get up-to-date data and talking points here: https://tabletofarmcompost.com/.../11/Talking-Points.pdf
We believe the City of Durango has been a leader in recycling, being one of the few remote and rural towns in Colorado to provide recycling to every household. However, when this program was put in place, recycling organics, or composting, was overlooked. Instituting composting throughout the City of Durango is a crucial benchmark to achieve the City’s sustainability goals and to directly mitigate the emissions from landfills that contribute to catastrophic climate change.
This is our LAST MEANINGFUL CHANCE to make this matter a priority on the City Council’s docket before our current partnership expires. Think globally and act locally to ensure the climate we pass on to future generations is habitable.

Carbon Farming in La Plata County
Your trash is the earth's treasure
Your food scraps can save the planet! If everyone in the La Plata County region recycled their food scraps into compost, we could grow higher quality food and sequester carbon. As a community, we can transform our “waste” into living soil building local self-reliance and supporting people, the planet, and prosperity for everyone.
This is the biggest crisis humanity has ever faced. This is not something you can like on Facebook.”
– Greta Thunberg
Benefits to YOU!
Support Local
By choosing to support local businesses like Table to Farm Compost, your buying dollars stay in the our community and you are helping to grow the La Plata County economy.
Recycle Nutrients
Growing food removes valuable nutrients from the soil. Composting returns those nutrients and living microorganisms to the soil, thus completing the cycle. This living biology is what sequesters carbon and promotes plant health.
Save The Planet
Food that decomposes in a landfill releases methane gas, a greenhouse gas 86 times more potent than carbon dioxide over a 20 year lifespan. Plus, saving food from ever making it to the landfill reduces the need for more and larger landfills.
Free Compost
