Denver Recycles - Composting

Week A:Monday

Compost Recycling! It's as easy as taking out the trash!

If you are not already taking part in Denver's easy and convenient residential compost recycling program you should be. Now there are two easy ways for you to sign up for this NO CHARGE service. Call Denver Recycles at 3-1-1, anytime between 7:30am and 4:00pm, Monday through Friday. Our customer service representatives will ask for your name, address and telephone number. Or you can visit the Denver Recycles web site at http://www.denvergov.org/denverrecycles and sign up on line. You will need to enter your name, address and telephone number.

You will get a GREEN bin just like the Purple bin used for your other recycle materials.
