During my visit to Star Island, New Hampshire, a couple of years ago, I discovered the yummiest cookies! Have you tried these??

Folks often ask me about ants in compost... This article from Let's Go Compost is a great reference. TLDR: Your compost bin is too dry/has too much exposed food. 🐜🪱☀️

Denmark's waste management plan is FIRE! Denmark makes it easy to sort trash into the right bin for recycling or the "rest". Then their waste-to-energy plant, Copenhill, burns it cleanly to produce enough energy to run 150,000 homes. And to top it off... you can ski down the Copenhill year-round!! ♻️⛷️🇩🇰

Help us build something awesome! Our next workday is THIS FRIDAY, June 10 from 430-530pm. Bring gloves, a hat, and any food scraps or cardboard you'd like to compost! 🍉

Big thanks as always to the Hope Community for hosting the Fairhope Compost Hub on their campus! 🤝

The Compost Hub is buzzing with activity this summer! In the last few weeks, we installed some pallet fencing, started two new windrows, and put up some signage. You will see a sign that says FEED HERE in the windrow that is accepting food scraps and dry materials. The other windrow has a sign that says DON'T FEED - I'm Cookin'. That row has scraps that were added earlier this year and have already broken down into rich compost for Hope Community gardens.

Plans for public food scrap donations are in the works! Stay tuned for more info on how you can donate your food scraps to the Compost Hub!

In June, we also set up the Can o' Worms with a handful of worms that will soon grow to over 1,000 composting worms eating 5 pounds of food scraps each week. Worms are picky eaters, so we are requesting that no one feed the worms at this time. Once the worms have gotten used to their new home, we will welcome everyone to come have a look and bring some treats for them. Worm castings contain nutrients custom made for plants and will make an excellent addition to Hope Community garden beds!

Compost Hub jobs for July & August:
- Transporting 20-30 more pallets from the City of Fairhope to Hope Community campus
- Cardboard (large boxes preferred) to use as w**d screen
- Help finishing the pallet fence and continued dismantling of the large pile of debris currently in the middle of the Compost Hub

Next workdays:
Friday, July 10 from 4:30-5:30 p.m.
Friday, August 14 from 3-4:00 p.m.

Please reach out to us or DM Sarah Marston Bogdanovich if you want to help! Fairhope Compost Project

Have you ever wondered what to do with an item once it's no longer needed? It can be overwhelming to figure out the most responsible way to dispose of things. We're happy to announce a new community resource to help folks in Fairhope figure out the next step... the What Now? Guide to Sensible Disposal!
