Fruita Monument senior Courtlyn Carpenter started the Composting Club after participating in a compost program at Fruita 8/9 School and composting at home. Club members routinely collect small composting buckets from classrooms and from a large bin in the cafeteria and dump them into a large compost bin behind the school to cut down on trash waste.
