Grow Green Food Scrap Compost Give Away

Food Scraps to Compost

Community gardens are a visible sign of a commitment to improving green space and community aesthetics. ReWorks would like to recognize this commitment by offering a chance for these community gardens to receive free compost made from food scraps. This is a unique opportunity to both enrich the soil and support the practice of composting.

A benefit that one may not automatically think of is that Grow Green sources the compost from large-scale food scrap composters. Composting food scraps and diverting them from the landfill works best when there are people and businesses that want this end product. ReWorks hopes this program helps to bring in support for both small and large-scale food scrap composting.
