Happy Holidays Composters! Today was quite a frigid day composting. While not many people were around due to the holidays, we still managed to collect a solid 161.2 pounds of scraps. The snowfall last night made for quite a difficult but fun trip up the hill, with Mariam taking several slips and falls sending her tumbling down the hill. Her pants were ruined and I regret to say they did not survive the journey. Despite the cold weather, the piles are still very warm and cooking that compost into the beautiful black gold we love.

We usually check in every two weeks—but there’s been so much composting excitement lately that we couldn’t wait to share! 🌱

Holy moly, guacamole, long cannoli, ravioli, google moogly, pepperoni, rigatoni, stromboli, macaroni cheese! Today we collected a mind boggling amount. Not only did we absolutely demolish our last record, but we collected nearly half a thousand pounds. To be exact, 471 beautiful pounds of kitchen scraps and dozens of pumpkins of all shapes and sizes! This absolutely massive amount of food scraps also pushes us over 16,000 pounds collected in total. Hip Hip Hurray! 

The past two weeks at the Greenwich Composting Project have been amazing!

All of it has been added to our active pile, which is quickly filling up. In fact, the pile even overflowed when dumping the scraps in today!

We’ve had a busy and productive two weeks here at the Greenwich Composting Project, and we’re excited to share our latest stats and observations!

We’re back with a double-dose blog update—and we’ve got a lot to share from the past two weeks!

This week, we collected 198 lbs of kitchen scraps—a fantastic amount to add to our ever-growing compost effort. Huge thank you to everyone who either dropped off or left out their food waste and kept the momentum going. It all adds up! 🍌🥚🥬

You may be wondering why today’s blog features a photo of the Fremont Troll from Seattle. Here’s why: we’ve now diverted over 13,000 pounds of kitchen scraps from landfill—and that’s roughly the same weight as the Troll! 🗿🌱

This week we collected 181.6 pounds of kitchen scraps.
