Eco-Cycle is bringing compost

Composting & Carbon

Eco-Cycle is bringing compost and carbon farming solutions to Boulder County and beyond to support healthy soils and a critical climate solution.

Building a Circular Compost System

Eco-Cycle is creating a local model that keeps organic discards out of landfills, builds healthy soils, and supports farmers.

What Is Carbon Farming?

We go beyond reducing emissions to REMOVING carbon from the atmosphere using “carbon farming.”

Cool Boulder Campaign

The City of Boulder implements Cool Boulder, a campaign for community-led, nature-based climate action.

Microbe Brew Compost Tea

Water your soil with life! Eco-Cycle’s Microbe Brew is a living soil amendment that is ideal for all types of plants.

What Is Biochar?

We’re piloting the production of biochar, using trees killed by fires or insects, to help sequester carbon.

State & National Efforts

We help communities nationwide replicate our carbon farming model for Boulder County.

Imagine a Community
Where Reuse Is the Norm

Imagine a grocery store where you refill jars instead of tossing packaging. A bookstore where pre-loved finds sit proudly alongside the new. A café where your coffee comes in a cup that’s used again and again. Each of these everyday choices—refilling, repairing, reusing, and sharing—helps cut waste, conserve resources, save money, and fight climate change.

By choosing reuse, you’re strengthening local, circular economies where products are shared, repurposed, and kept in use longer. Together, our community is proving that a future without single-use waste isn’t just possible—it’s already taking shape.

Why Choose Reuse?

Reusables save money.

Individuals can save by shopping secondhand and using items for longer. A study of Denver restaurants found businesses saved an average of $3,600 a year from switching to reusables!

Reusables are good for the planet.

Reuse reduces plastic pollution and extends the life of materials, reducing demand for natural resources.

Reusables are convenient.

A few simple shifts can make reuse a daily habit, including visiting businesses that make reuse part of their model.
