As the owner of a business that offers full recycling services, I have seen firsthand how composting can be woven into community engagement. One of our most popular programs is the ‘Compost Your Event’ campaign. This program is all about integrating composting services and education into local community events like festivals and fairs. We set up composting stations at the event, so organic waste is separated and composted. Our team talks to attendees, doing demonstrations and information sessions on the benefits of composting and how they can do it at home. We want to show that every little bit counts. By making composting accessible and educational we are enabling communities to take control of their waste and the planet. At a recent county fair, we managed to divert over 500 pounds of organic waste from landfills highlighting the feasibility of composting at a large scale.
