Your food scraps can save the planet.
We pick it up at your curb.
Every bin, every week — nothing to the landfill.
Then it comes home to our farm, where the real work begins.
Turned, screened and cured — the slow way, for months.
We turn it into living soil.
And give it back to the farms and gardens of the Four Corners.
Your food scraps can save the planet.
About 40% of what goes to our landfills is food and other organic matter. We pick it up at your curb, turn it into living soil, and give it back to the farms and gardens of the Four Corners.
Let’s put an end to food waste.
Food rotting in a landfill releases methane — a greenhouse gas over 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide in its first 20 years. Composted instead, those same scraps become carbon-storing living soil. Same banana peel, opposite future.

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, sequester carbon, and reduce harmful emissions. As a community, we can transform our “waste” into living soil building local self-reliance and supporting people, the planet, and prosperity for everyone. And yet, we are landfilling our food scraps pumping methane and carbon dioxide into the atmosphere.
"Table to Farm Compost plays a vital role in Southwestern Colorado’s sustainability efforts by diverting organic waste away from local landfills and turning it into rich, nutrient-dense soil. Their dependable collection services, collaborative partnership with the City of Durango, and commitment to environmental stewardship make them an indispensable asset for local residents, businesses, and regional agriculture."
Senator Cleave Simpson Minority Leader Colorado State Senate - District 6The Choice Is Simple
Compare the greenhouse gas emissions of sending food scraps to the Bondad Landfill versus composting them at Table to Farm. Rotting food scraps create methane, a potent greenhouse gas, trapping far more heat per molecule than carbon dioxide and driving roughly 30% of global warming since the industrial revolution. In the first 20 years in the atmosphere, methane is over 80 times more powerful than carbon dioxide at trapping heat. However, it breaks down much faster than carbon dioxide, lasting only about 10 to 12 years in the air.
When you compost your food scraps, you’re supporting the creation of a soil amendment that sequesters carbon and grows food. Composting is a win-win-win scenario for our environment, agricultural industry, and our economy.
Your trash is the earth’s treasure.
Every bucket we collect is composted locally into a living soil amendment full of the microorganisms that cycle nutrients, hold water and pull carbon out of the atmosphere. That soil goes back to the farms and gardens growing your food — completing a loop our community can be proud of.
It’s a win for our farmers, a win for our climate, and a win for every garden in the Four Corners.
Every bucket feeds the loop.

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.
