Lancaster Compost Co-Ops (LCC): Attend an Orientation/Work Day at Musser Park to learn about composting basics and co-op membership The Lancaster Compost Co-Ops (LCC) is a volunteer-led community initiative that enables Lancaster residents to participate in reducing landfill waste by creating high quality compost. Orientation & Work Day At this one-hour event, you will learn about composting, understand the roles and responsibilities of co-op membership, and meet other members. You will also have an opportunity to help with the composting processes. Attending the one-hour orientation is required to gain access to the bin. After attendance, you will receive a member agreement and then gain the ability start dropping-off your food scraps.IMPORTANT: - We request that all attendees abide by COVID protocols, wearing a mask and staying socially distanced 6 feet apart. We also recommend that attendees wear solid work shoes and bring gloves if possible. - If you would like to sit during the event, please bring your own chairs. Otherwise, participants may stand or sit on the ground. About UsWhen Lancaster Compost Co-Ops was started in April 2021, Lancaster residents had zero alternatives to divert organic food and garden scraps from the general waste stream beyond individual backyards. Composting is a mainstream activity in American cities – and we believed it was high time for Lancaster to address the existing community interest.LCC currently has two co-op sites in Lancaster City. Each site has a critter proof and smell proof compost bin in a public space that allows trained community members to create high quality compost. A local community member, or "captain," independently runs the site with the support of the community participants. Website coming soon!
