The “low hanging fruit” of our solid waste problem, if we got food out of the trash we could reduce disposal by 25%. Great first step to phasing out landfills and incinerators. @ilsr @MOF_Mass @otowncompost @CompostBoston @WasteNotCompost @CompostBrooklyn @SierraClub @GAIAnoburn

Our friends at @compostboston offer a curbside pickup service where you can bring a new life to your scraps! They were generous enough to donate 15 buckets of compost, which came just in time for our pollinator garden maintenance. Visit https://t.co/RAjUHKWVg8 to sign up!

If just half of food scraps flowing to landfills and incinerators were diverted to community composters, over 50,000 new jobs could be created from composting alone. That's on par with the coal mining industry. Read our new community composting report: https://t.co/wcB5CJtskX

The 2022 Community Composter Census is the first of its kind to track the growth, challenges, and strengths of the local composting movement.

Looking for an easy way to share the science of composting with your community? ILSR's Composting for Community team developed a new poster (available in English and Spanish) that colorfully illustrates the 'how' and 'why' of compost. Download ⬇️ https://t.co/WjxN1ytb2S

Composting is a process that turns raw organic material into a valuable soil enhancer. Use this poster to share the magic of compost!
