Pick up 1/17

Today we collected 126.2 pounds of kitchen scraps. We were hoping to collect more but hopefully next week we will collect more! We were very surprised to see that despite the cold weather, our pile has remained active! This is great news because it means that the food scraps are still breaking down. Thank you to everybody who dropped off and left their bins out!

First update of 2025!
