We Make Dirt Great

Locally made compost

Turning dirt into soil across western colorado.

We’re making mighty fine compost at our facility in Delta, Colorado. We take food waste, yard waste and biosolids and turn them into a powerful blend of nutrients and microorganisms. It's affordable and effective for folks looking to spruce up their yards, grow lush gardens, or keep their pastures and farms hearty and strong. We're all about giving back to the land and helping our neighbors thrive.

Why Choose

Delta Compost?

We make fantastic STA certified compost. By recycling organic waste into compost, we are providing affordable compost that helps improve the soil across the Western Slope. 

Our compost is great as a top-dressing, mixed with top soil or added to a container garden.

We accept most types of organic material such as leaves, grass clippings, branches, and trees.

We can haul liquid food waste in large amounts if needed. Examples might include brewery, distillery or vineyard waste.

We’ll work with commercial clients to figure out how to get your ag, food, special event or forestry waste to our facility.

Our Impact

We’re diverting waste from the landfills and improving soil across Western Colorado including:

+ 1.5 million pounds of food waste

+ 3.5 million gallons of fats, oil, grease & septic

+ 2,000 tons of yard waste
