CT Compost Alliance to Increase Composting Efforts in Connecticut Written by CT Deep
The CT Compost Alliance, a newly formed group of compost enthusiasts representing a variety of stakeholder organizations, has shared a series of resources, including recorded webinars, videos, and a new listserv to ensure that current and future composters have the opportunity to continue to learn, network and engage.
Connecticut is facing a waste crisis, as some of the traditional options for disposing of municipal solid waste are becoming more costly or becoming unavailable. According to a 2015 study, 35% of what residents throw away is organic material food scraps and yard waste that can be donated, composted, or used as animal feed. Increasing composting is a key piece to addressing the state’s waste crisis, and the more sustainable waste future we envision for our state.
