Community Composting

Community composting is a hit in Montreal, where multiple community bins have been set up recently. Montreal’s “The Chronicle” reports:

Two new community composting bins were installed this spring in CDN-NDG. The bins, one each on Connaught and Madison Avenues, bring the borough’s total to 14. “We believe that composting is something everyone should be doing,” said Geneviève Grossenbacher, director of Valorisateur, a community group that helps manage five of the bins.

In the case of Montreal, the compost created by the communal compost bins goes to use in community gardens. This is a great way to get people more involved in composting and to reduce municipal waste. It’s also a great way to bind people together and create more of a sense of, well, community! If you know of any other communal composting projects, please let us know!
