COMING Soon: Compost Corner!
Turning today's waste into tomorrow's resource!
So, what exactly is composting? Composting is the decomposition of organic materials by microorganisms. This organic waste includes leaves, certain kinds of food scraps, and yard trimmings. Some examples of these food scraps are fruit, vegetables, and coffee grounds. Then, the compost is combined with dry or woody plant material and regularly turned. The result is beneficial and nutrient-rich soil that can be put back into the ground. Composting not only results in good soil, but it reduces waste. You can get in on helping the environment by dropping off your compost at the Sandy Springs Recycling Center. Dropping off the dirt also earns you a discount on the dirt that is produced by the composting corner!
Support the Compost Corner
We need a few things to get our Compost Corner up and running. If you'd like to support our newest endeavor, please consider donating funds or supplies.
About Kara
Kara Hutton
My name is Kara Hutton and I am a current student at North Springs High School. I have a passion for helping the environment, being a leader, and serving my community, so I was inspired to start a community composting initiative. My goal is to get people in the community to work together to help the environment through composting. By working with Keep North Fulton Beautiful, The Compost Collective can reach more people and not only help me reach my own goals, but to serve others and benefit the community.
