PBC's Purple Bucket Brigade's mission is to bring inclusive & sustainable composting systems to every Colorado community. Composting for everyone, by anyone. Tired o

f seeing food waste end up in landfills? PBC's Purple Bucket Brigade is building a network of volunteer composters across Colorado. We provide free collection buckets, tools, and training to individuals who want to compost in their own neighborhoods. They keep some or all of the finished compost for their garden or farm, and share the rest with their community. Your donation helps us:

Equip more volunteers with composting supplies. Expand our program to new communities. Provide ongoing support and education to our volunteers. Create a model for sustainable waste management that can operate anywhere in the state. Together, we can build a better way!
