   logistics or operation of composting sites
   
   * Grant applications and logistical operations of organics collection (i.e.
     site development and community curbside pickup services)
   
   * Reporting (including social, economic, and environmental benefits)
   
   * Understanding Labour Market Information

   * Compost production, quality indicators, etc. 
   
   * GreenHouse Gas reductions
   
   * Financial savings (i.e. tipping fee reductions, operational capacity
     building)

growing and adding to our network.

   part of every community.

OUR HISTORY

Recognizing the urgency, need, and support for community-based composting
programs that are environmentally, socially, and economically sustainable in the
long term, an informal NL Community Composting Network was born in March 2023.
For over a year, the Steering Committee, made up of people from across the
province, focused their vision on empowering collective climate action through
small-scale community composting. 



In January 2024, the Steering Committee was accepted to the Newfoundland and
Labrador Federation of Co-operative’s Co-operative Incubator Pilot Program, a
robust six-month program involving Training and Workshops, Mentoring Teams,
Coworking and Peer Support Opportunities, and Access to Funding for
incorporation and start-up assistance.

Have you noticed that, for a movement focused on composting, we don’t really use
the term ‘waste’ or ‘organic waste’?

Instead, we prefer using the term ‘organics’, because there's no such a thing as
waste… just wasted resources.
