Accessible and Educational Composting for the Hudson Community

Turn your household scraps into super nutrients for your garden.

APPLY TO THE COLLECTIVE

Food is the single most common material sent to U.S. landfills,

making up about 24% of municipal solid waste (EPA).

Composting helps keep those scraps out of landfills and feeds our soil.

It feels really good to waste less and return your household scraps to the soil.

And it feels even better when you know what the alternative means:

your food waste sitting in landfills.

So what does that actually mean?

When we throw away food it sits in landfills. And sits. And sits. Oxygen doesn’t get to it and that waste produces Methane, a greenhouse gas that traps heat in the atmosphere and contributes to climate change.

But, when we circulate Oxygen as part of the breakdown process of our food and yard waste, we create nutrient-rich compost.

How the Collective Works

FILL THE BUCKET

Fill the bucket you’re provided with green and brown compostable scraps. I’ll make sure to guide you through it!

LEAVE IT OUTSIDE

Leave your full bucket outside your front door each week and I will pick it up. I’ll leave a clean bucket in its place.

RECEIVE COMPOST

I’ll compost your household scraps and return a full bucket of compost to you in the spring or you can donate your compost to re-green spaces in Hudson.

Why Give a Scrap?

When food waste rots in a landfill, it produces Methane, a greenhouse gas roughly 28× more potent than CO₂. Not to mention the amount of money the average American household wastes on food each week (EPA).

When we responsibly compost food waste through the Hudson Compost Collective, it becomes living nutrients that feeds the next generation of food, plants, trees, and flowers grown right here in Summit County.
