Welcome to Sustainable Broomfield, a citizen-led group!

Our Vision:

Our vision is to bring together residents, local governments, organizations, and businesses to transform Broomfield into a model for individual and community sustainability.

Our Mission:

Our mission is to accelerate the integration of environmentally sustainable lifestyles in our community. We will achieve this by providing residents with
-Educational experiences
-Practical and convenient resources
-Opportunities to advocate for sustainable public policy

We meet monthly and all meetings are open to the public. Contact us at sustainablebroomfield@gmail.com

Advocacy is a big part of Sustainable Broomfield.  We encourage residents to communicate with the City of Broomfield on how they would like to see Broomfield become more sustainable.

 

We’ve done the work to find local and national resources on composting, recycling and so much more.  Find a great list of resources on our Resources page.

Sustainable Broomfield is committed to holding educational talks, classes and events on sustainable topics.  Check our Education page to find out about upcoming opportunities.

Scraps Curbside Composting

Scraps is a curbside composting service that is available throughout the Denver metro area, and is looking to expand its services to Broomfield starting with the Broadlands and McKay Landing neighborhoods!

This is an exciting opportunity to bring composting to your local community, and be one of the first neighborhoods to have Scraps service.

Composting with Scraps is easy! You just leave your compostables on the curb in the bin they provide, and they pick it up each week and take it to be composted. That’s it!

Scraps does this weekly pickup for only $25 a month, which allows you to divert more organic waste from the landfill and make a real impact on the environment!

And if you don’t live in those neighborhoods, could you share this with someone who does? Thank you!
