Half the Trash, Double The Impact: The Smarter Way to Manage Waste
What if you could reduce your waste, support local initiatives, and save money all with a simple change in waste bins?
Missoulians have the opportunity to work with local waste haulers to invest in local sustainability. By switching to every-other-week trash pickup through Grizzly Disposal and adding curbside composting with Missoula Compost Collection, you can build soil, save money, and support your community.
Affordable, Accessible, and Impactful
Missoula's ambitious sustainability goal, the Zero By Fifty Plan, is to reduce landfill waste by 90% by the year 2050. Composting plays a key role in this mission. The average household waste is made up of over 40% compostable material, including food scraps and yard debris. When landfilled with a single bin system, organics are stored in a non-oxygenated environment, causing methane emission and contaminating useful nutrients. Composting returns your nutrient-rich organic material to the soil, not only recovering vital resources but also reducing the growth and emissions produced by local landfills.
Compost soil is rich in nutrients, improves plant health, boosts drought resistance, builds carbon stores, and reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers. Building soil with your organic waste is a simple, affordable way to make a big change. By diverting organics into compost, you’ll likely find yourself needing fewer trash pickups. Switching from weekly to every-other-week trash service with Grizzly Disposal means lower trash bills and less wasted resources.
Missoula Compost Collection offers weekly pickups and customizable collection options to fit every household's needs. It’s never been easier to keep food scraps, yard waste, and other compostables out of the landfill. Services start at just $19.21 per month for a 5-gallon or 10-gallon bin, with larger options for families or avid gardeners.
Pair that with Grizzly Disposal’s flexible trash pickup options, and you’ve got a winning combination for both your budget and the environment.
