What a great year we have completed! Below are some numbers for the Compost Partners Program, numbers that represent a lot of hard work by our staff and volunteers, as well as our participating kitchens. We begin the new year picking up at 17 locations and process the kitchen waste at 7 of our gardens.
This update shows some of the good things happening through the Compost Partners Program. Please tell our partner kitchens that you are glad they are taking the extra time to separate their scraps and make part of their waste stream available to us each week! Also, please help yourself to finished compost at one bin at Third Street Stuff—the label promises that the contents are “Ready for the Garden”.
