COMMUNITY COMPOST PROGRAM

---

 We’re excited to introduce our Community Compost Program, designed to help DeKalb County residents and businesses reduce waste, protect the environment, and build a more sustainable future—together. Organic waste, such as food scraps and yard trimmings, makes up over 12% of landfill waste in Georgia. This waste not only takes up valuable landfill space but also generates methane, a potent greenhouse gas with 25 times the global warming potential of carbon dioxide.

Our Community Compost Program provides an easy, eco-friendly way to divert organic materials from landfills. By joining, you can help reduce the nearly 1.6 billion pounds of food waste generated in Georgia every year and transform that waste into nutrient-rich compost that benefits local gardens, farms, and green spaces.

How It Works:

1. Sign Up: Join the program and receive a free composting bin for your food scraps and organic waste.

2. Collection: Each week, we’ll pick up your bin and take it to a local composting facility, where it will be turned into high-quality compost.

3. Give Back: The compost we create is used to enrich community gardens, parks, and local farms, nourishing our soil and reducing the need for chemical fertilizers.

Why Join?
