Missoula’s Mission
Missoula Compost’s Mission
Missoula Compost’s mission is to help our community reduce waste by providing simple, accessible composting solutions for businesses, residents, and events. Aligned with Missoula’s Zero by Fifty plan, we aim to strengthen our community through sustainable composting practices, dedicated people, and nutrient-rich soil.
Our Vision
Missoula Compost is dedicated to providing reliable, transparent, and accessible composting services that reduce waste and benefit the local environment. We ensure all organic collections are composted; and never sent to the landfill. We strive to make composting simple and effective for everyone in Missoula. By normalizing composting, we aim to create a more sustainable and affordable service for the entire community.
Our goal is to make composting convenient for businesses, residents, or events by offering flexible solutions, timely support, and consistent pickup schedules. With curbside composting, we provide an easy, space-efficient way to reduce everyday waste, all at flat, transparent rates.
As a local, family-owned business, we keep everything close to home, collecting, composting, and returning nutrient-rich soil to Missoula’s environment. By supporting Missoula Compost, you’re also supporting the local economy and the city’s Zero Waste goals.
Through partnerships with businesses, nonprofits, and the City of Missoula, we’re transforming waste management practices and proving that composting can rescue resources, enrich soil, reduce emissions, and slow landfill growth. Together, we can build a sustainable future for Missoula.
Missoula’s Zero by Fifty Plan
Resource conservation, open space preservation, climate action, public health, and smart growth have long been core values in Missoula. The global Zero Waste movement aligns perfectly with these principles, offering practical solutions that can be implemented locally. For Missoula’s institutions, businesses, nonprofits, and residents, Zero Waste is more than a goal—it’s a shared priority.
Years of collaboration and planning have culminated in the City of Missoula’s ZERO by FIFTY Zero Waste plan, a comprehensive roadmap to guide the community toward sustainability. This plan is already making an impact, with Zero Waste practices being adopted in local businesses, parks, and schools. By providing a clear framework and prioritized recommendations, ZERO by FIFTY sets the foundation for a unified effort.
Together, Missoula’s community members and institutions can join forces with the City to take meaningful steps toward a more sustainable future.
