This Saturday: Free Kitchen Caddies and Compost Soil Samples
In recognition of International Compost Awareness Week, the Department of Public Works (DPW) will be offering free kitchen caddies and compost soil samples at food waste drop-off locations this Saturday, May 11. The caddies and compost will be available to the first 50 participants at each location. Find open locations HERE.
Since Mayor Bowser launched the food waste drop-off program in 2017, the District has collected more than 527,916 pounds of organics from more than 83,584 participants in all eight wards. Food waste is the single largest component going into landfills, and landfills are the third largest source of methane in the U.S., according to the USDA. Diverting food waste from landfills and turning it into compost contributes to a greener and healthier planet.
Have a great weekend,
Kevin
