Garden City Compost

Garden City Compost will be CLOSED WEDNESDAY FEBRUARY 18, 2026 for Staff Training.               Open 2pm-5pm for drop off that day.

Welcome!

Since the City of Missoula purchased EKO Compost in November 2016 and created Garden City Compost, we have been investing in new equipment and upgrading our composting processes. We want to provide residents with consistent, high quality compost products while improving our practices to better control odor. In addition, we are proud to continue the tradition of resource recovery in our community and are excited for the future. The amount of material being diverted from the landfill has increased with the help of the public and local businesses in the region. For that, we say, THANK YOU!

⚠️ PFAS Warning Statement

This compost product may contain trace amounts of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS), which are synthetic chemicals that are resistant to degradation and are being found across the landscape. PFAS compounds are persistent in the environment and may be present in the compost due to the inclusion of food waste, biosolids, food packaging materials. It is possible that PFAS compounds may accumulate in soil and plants, and therefore users concerned about PFAS exposure may not want to use this product as soil for edible crops.
