Why Community Composting?
By keeping our food scraps local, we are:
​
-reducing the energy that would be used to transport organics to larger processing facilities
​
-creating rich, fertile soil that can be redistributed to our neighbors & used to grow food for our immediate community
​
-opening an opportunity to learn about and reconnect with the cycles of our organic material
