WHY COMPOST?

  • Food scraps are diverted from landfills and incinerators,  out of the waste stream and into the earth

  • An active way to lower personal greenhouse gas emissions on a daily basis

  • Composted food scraps become a valuable resource for building healthy soils when separated from other ‘trash’.

  • By composting our food waste, we reduce our carbon footprint. Compost soil sequesters carbon, while food rotting in landfills releases methane

  • Composting returns unused nutrients from food scraps back into the soil for local farms to use, completing the food cycle and contributing to a healthy, local source of nutritious organic food. Contributing to the cycling of nutrients from our homes back to community farms fosters a healthy connection to locally-grown organic food.

  • Community composting encourages food independence & reduces local use of chemical fertilizers.

 
THE SERVICE

The North Shore Community Compost Movement is a weekly collection service for residential composting. You divert your food waste, we pick it up and turn it into soil for our local farms.

HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:

We’ll deliver you a compost bucket (or 2 with the "plus" plan) with a screw-top lid, some bokashi to kickstart the process & a welcome packet with educational information & instructions on what to do.

 

Fill your bucket up with your food scraps

(check out our LIST OF DO'S & DON'TS).

 

We’ll pick up the bucket & swap it out for a clean bin every Wednesday —NO SMELL, NO CLEANING, NO HASSLES.

 

Track your impact on the environment with personalized carbon offset reports at the end of the year.

 

Smile & feel good knowing that you’re giving something important back to this beautiful place we call home.

Monthly CCM subscription is a tax-deductible donation.  Help the earth, and write it off!
