What?

From LA Food Waste Grant Challenge:

• LA Compost has spent the last five years, building and facilitating composting hubs throughout LA County. LA Compost has successfully built 12 compost systems throughout LA County, with 5 more in the process of completion. The LA Compost team consists of Certified Master Gardeners, Master Composters from the NYC Composting project, former teachers, restaurant managers, and graduate level students with a concentration in soil science. LA Compost aims to keep the transport of organics local and its mission is to reconnect the people of Los Angeles to the soil, and each other. LA Compost has established best practices for the physical construction, compost maintenance, education, and necessary support. Its decentralized system works with regional managers and partnering organizations in a symbiotic relationship while empowering and providing resources for individuals to form a community and maintain the work. LA Compost has firsthand knowledge of the demand for local compost drop-off sites as well as the LA community’s desire to participate in and engage with composting programs.
