A1 Organics, with Corporate Offices in the beautiful state of Colorado, has been in the organic recycling business since 1974. As Colorado's leader in organic recycling, A1 has successfully diverted over 8,000,000 cubic yards of waste from Colorado landfills. The end result of our recycling efforts? High quality composts, mulches, and other recycled materials, which are available to the landscape industry and Colorado citizens for landscaping and soil amendment purposes.Since 1974, A1 Organics has focused on services related to organic residual reduction and organic recycling services. Additionally, A1 Organics provides services related to organic recycling on a one time or continuing basis, which includes:Food Waste Recycling,Composting,Compost Mixes & Blends,Grinding and Custom Services.

FOOD WASTE RECYCLING:Waste from restaurants and other food service establishments is 75% or more organic materials and can be composted. Restaurants who participate in A1 Organics food waste recycling program place food and other organic waste in specially marked bins located throughout the kitchen and food prep areas. A1 Organics then picks up the food waste totes on a regular basis and takes them to one of our permitted facilities for recycling. The organic materials we collect are remanufactured into high quality composts and mulches which are used in landscaping.

COMPOSTING:During the summer months in particular, yard waste and other organic waste can consume from 40% to 60% of the available landfill space. With landfill space diminishing and new landfills becoming harder and harder to permit, alternatives become much more important. Composting is one such alternative that works to keep organic waste out of the landfill while providing a useful alternative.
