Composting
Our pilot project has four main elements:
- The Community Composting Hub which is the physical location where we receive and process materials for composting, as well as host learning events.
- Community engagement that includes:
- a weekly collection service for businesses and organizations
- a weekly drop-off day for existing and new members of MASH
- coaching for anyone wanting a little extra help creating and implementing solutions
- workshops for building backyard composting bins, best practices for composting including animal-friendly and cold weather tips, and how to use finished compost to grow food.
- Data collection to help us evaluate the effectiveness of our project and identify how we can get better results.
- Business case for a long-term permanent solution for composting including facility design, collection service, cost recovery, and supporting policies and education to maximize our capture rate and minimize contamination.
