Description

Lancaster Compost Co-Ops: Attend an Orientation at (Northwest Corridor) Linear Park to learn about composting basics & co-op membership About this event 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. The Linear Park Co-Op is being launched and run in partnership with Lemon Street Market, an independent & woman-owned grocery store, located on the same block as the bin. Orientation: 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 the CDC's COVID protocols, wearing a mask and staying socially distanced 6 feet apart if not fully vaccinated. - If you would like to sit during the event, please bring your own chairs. Otherwise, participants may stand or sit on the ground. About Us When 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 has several 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.
