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.

Good afternoon!

This has been a great week in the world of composting with the GCP feeling more motivated that ever and proud to be part of the amazing Greenwich community.  GCP joined Julie and Britta from Waste Free Greenwich at the farmers market in Old Greenwich this week.  It was so motivating to see how many Greenwich residents turned up to drop off their kitchen scraps.  Not only were residents dropping off their yard waste, there was also lots of composting chit chat - some asking questions and others sharing their success stories - it was a fun couple of hours, and, as is always the case when we meet with WFG, we left with renewed enthusiasm towards reducing landfill waste!

Today we collected a whopping 225.4 pounds of kitchen scraps!! This is an all-time record for us! We are so thrilled and grateful for this incredible milestone. Thank you all so much for making this possible — it could not have happened without each and every one of you. Your continued support and commitment mean the world to us.

Good morning everyone! Another week of terrific composting done. We collected 137 pounds of kitchen scraps this week. We noticed a lot of cardboard in this pickup which is really helpful for helping break down the kitchen scraps and maintaining the browns : green ratio.
