It was another busy week for GCP, with 187.2 lbs of kitchen scraps diverted from landfill.

We have not done a blog update since 7/24, but, as always, plenty has been happening behind the scenes.

After a month-long break, GCP is very happy to be back in action.

We have not done a blog update since 6/13, but there has been plenty happening behind the scenes at GCP.

Although we have been a bit quiet again over the last two weeks, that definitely does not mean nothing has been happening behind the scenes — there is no summer lull for GCP.

Although we have not blogged the last few weeks, work at GCP continues!  Since our last post we have collected 456.3lbs of food scraps, keeping them out of landfill in favor of transforming to black gold!

This week we collected 137.3 lbs of food scraps AND passed a huge milestone: GCP has now diverted 20,058.8 lbs of food scraps from landfill! We honestly cannot quite believe it. Between the three of us, we have now hauled more than 20,000 lbs up our huge hill — which definitely feels like better, and cheaper, than a gym membership.

Sorry for the long silence, but it has been a busy few weeks for GCP! Since our last blog, we have attended the ReThink Waste Fair, celebrated Earth Day with Parkway School, and played with worms at Live Like Luke — all with a bit of composting in between!

Today we composted super early because the seniors have such a fun-packed day ahead. It was still dark when we set off, which made this morning’s composting feel especially memorable. They say the early bird catches the worm — but in our case, the early composters feed the worms!

Happy Easter and Passover! Pass over that potato to compost! Noah fell down the hill. April fools! Today we collected 118.6 pounds of kitchen scraps. This brings us just over 1 million pounds. April fools! However, we are nearing the 20,000 pound landmark. Today was a terrible day composting. April fools! Today was actually a beautiful day composting. Spring has finally sprung. The weather is warm, the air is fresh and the flowers are blooming. This is great for compost as the warmer weather speeds up the composting process. Looking forward to summer!!

This week, we collected 91.8 pounds of food scraps for composting.

It was a split crew this week at GCP, but that didn’t slow us down!
