Building A More Resilient Lancaster
Through Community Composting
Nice To Meet You!
Lancaster Composting Co-Ops is a volunteer-led community initiative that enables Lancaster residents to participate in reducing landfill waste by creating high quality compost.
Prior to the launch of this project in April 2021, Lancaster residents had zero alternatives beyond their own backyards to divert organic food and garden scraps from the general waste stream. Composting is a mainstream activity in American cities – and we believed it was high time for the City of Lancaster to address the existing community desire for sustainability.
