Trash and Recycling

Composting is good for your yard and garden, good for the environment, easy to do and fun!  Compost can retain 100% of its weight in water and is an important component of gardening in a drought.          

Please Note:

• Compost classes are free, but participants must register at least one week in advance so proper staffing can be arranged.
• All classes will be open for registration one month before each class date.
• Each compost class is a two-hour, hands-on workshop in the basics of backyard composting. Worm Workshops (WW) are special classes that cover vermicomposting techniques. Build-A-Pile Workshops (BP)are special classes in which participants help build an entire compost pile and get hands-on experience in incorporating different materials into a pile, chopping ingredients, watering and turning the pile. 
• All classes are held at the Denver Urban Gardens' Gove Community Garden at E. 13th Ave. and Colorado Blvd. (Please park along Harrison St. when attending classes.)  - SEE MAP
• Phone or online registrations do not guarantee class placement.  You will receive confirmation if your registration is accepted.
• Priority may be given to Denver residents.  These classes are sponsored by Denver Recycles/Solid Waste Management, Denver Urban Gardeners and the Metro Wastewater Reclamation District.
