COMPOSTABLE SERVINGWARE
Compostable servingware makes it easy for your attendees to utilize the correct bins. Reduce variety of choices to limit mistakes and keep waste streams clean.
Use Compostable Servingware!
The state of compostables is confusing as companies are transitioning from plastics to compostables. It is not always clear whether something is compostable, biodegradable, greenwashed, or straight plastic.
Be certain your disposables are compostable and not just greenwashed by ordering with Missoula Compost. We offer compostable serving ware by the sleeve for small events or the case for large events.
If you don’t see what you need, contact us. We may be able to supply it!

The Green Team
Home ReSource developed “The Green Team” to keep Missoula’s events clean. The Green Team supports events by helping participants and spectators sort waste into the correct stream: recycling, compost, or landfill.
Volunteering at local events is also a great way to educate and raise awareness about sustainability in the community. Volunteers set an example by showing other local events in our community our expectations to keep Missoula clean and green.
Keeping Missoula events sustainable allows them to thrive and grow without depleting our local resources.
Compost Anywhere for Any Occasion
No event is too big or small. Whether it's a family gathering or a large-scale festival, we make sustainability easy with organic waste collection. From one-time events and concert series to gatherings of any size, we’ve got you covered.
We’ve partnered with organizations like the Big Sky Documentary Film Festival, KettleHouse Amphitheater, Big Sky Brewery, Clark Fork Market, and the Western Montana Fair to help reduce the environmental impact of their events.
Reduce your event’s environmental impact, engage your community, foster educational opportunities, and save on landfill disposal fees.
