Compost Queen Launches Food Waste Composting Pilot Program

 

Compost Queen is launching a pilot program to make food scrap recycling more accessible than ever. In partnership with the City of Fort Collins, up to 600 residents and 20 local businesses can sign up for heavily discounted composting services—just $5/month for drop-off or $10/month for curbside collection. Businesses will receive an $80/month subsidy for commercial service.

Did you Know Colorado has a Program to help with Utility Payments?

 
The Utility Bill Help program refers income-qualified Colorado residents to bill assistance programs to help pay their utility bills. These programs are run by Atmos Energy, Black Hills Energy, Colorado Natural Gas, and Xcel Energy. Once applicants are referred by UBH, eligibility and final benefits are determined by their utility company.
