Food Scraps Drop Off

Residential food scrap composting is available to everyone!  You can drop off  kitchen  scraps anytime: the food waste drop off location is  just outside our main gate, on your right side (next to the Community Fridge!).  Our compost systems can handle any and all food scraps including meat, bones, and dairy.  Details on what can go in the drop off bins are located here.  

If you are having an event and would like to deliver your source-separated food waste, please email Trevor at  trevor@reunityresources.com  or call at   505-393-1196.  We also provide full-service event composting.
