Village of Egg Harbor Community Compost Initiative
The Village of Egg Harbor invites you to join our compost program!
In 2019, the Village of Egg Harbor expanded our brush site to accommodate food scraps. Since then, we have been picking up at restaurant partners in the village and incorporating them into our pile to make dirt for the village gardens and our residents!
Each year, through a partnership with the Door Community Compost Initiative and the Climate Change Coalition, the program has consistently serviced 10 businesses with a weekly food scrap pick-up.
Join us in building our soil and participating in the business pick-up or residential drop-off! Residents are invited to join the effort with a complimentary food scrap bucket. These buckets feature a screw top lid to keep smells in and pests out. After the bucket is full, participants will be able to drop it off with the village to incorporate into our pile!
Please note: these are not composting buckets, but rather food scrap collection buckets for you to dump into a compost pile!
