Right now we offer one residential curbside service. We will provide your home with a 5-gallon bucket, and every other week we will come by, empty and clean it, and haul the compost off to composting facility at the Montezuma County Landfill.

Each household is allowed to purchase up to 3 buckets.

We currently do not plan to provide compost back to customers. If you are interested in receiving compost, please email us at support@mococompo.com.

If you are interested in commercial service, please email us at support@mococompo.com.

We do not have a guaranteed service start date. Once we figure out our service route, we will let you know when you can expect service to start. We are currently targeting May 4, 2026 to start residential service in the City of Cortez, Town of Dolores, and Town of Mancos.

If you would like to sign up for the bi-weekly residential pickup, go to the Services tab.

We currently only offer one service for homeowners and renters in the City of Cortez, Town of Dolores, and Town of Mancos. We will empty your 5-gallon bucket every other week for $15/month.

Additional buckets are available for $10. Limit is 3 buckets per household.

Not yet. Right now, we focus on collection only. But we're working with the Montezuma County Landfill to explore ways to get finished compost back into the hands of our customers. If you’re interested in this service, send us an email at support@mococompo.com.

To sign-up for curbside composting service, head to the Home or Services page and fill out the form.

Payments will start when we start composting service. We will send you a monthly bill which you can pay online via our customer portal, which you can access via the “Account” button located on the header of this website.

Please contact us if you prefer a different payment options and we can see what we can work out.

Everyone! Our service is for any Montezuma County resident who wants to keep food scraps out of the landfill. Maybe you're a renter or live in an apartment without space for a compost pile. Maybe you have a garden but produce more food scraps than you can use. Either way, we'd love to have you.

Right now, we're only offering residential services in Cortez, Dolores and Mancos. If you’re close to city limits, go ahead and sign up and see if you’re within our service area. We’ll follow up if we can make it work!

We're not yet set up to work with businesses, but we plan to expand in the near future.

You can reach us anytime via our contact page or email (support@mococompo.com). We aim to respond quickly—usually within one business day.
