Community Compost Hubs

Community Compost Hubs are located in gardens, schools, and parks. Some Community Compost Hubs also require members to sign an agreement before joining and volunteer at the site to continue their membership. At this time there is no monetary cost for joining. Advantages of joining a Community Compost Hub are flexible drop-off hours, access to finished compost, and connection to a community of fellow composters.

See the map on the right for locations or the listings below!
