"Community buy-in is key," said Kish. "Get people talking - because not everyone loves to listen to the government, but if they're listing to their friends, family and neighbors, that peer pressure is going to get them eventually." #ICAW #compost wastedive.com/news/organics-…

We want to empower individuals to respond to the urgency of the climate crisis. Municipal compost programs are hard to create, and hard to sustain. We have solved this problem. We let individuals request and share compost bins using our website. Grassroots compost programs

Starting compost & recycling programs doesn't have to be difficult anymore. We let individuals request the services they need on our website, which allows us to start programs anywhere when we have sufficient interest.

We built Block Bins because compost programs are hard to start and run sustainably. We got impatient waiting for others to figure this out, so we developed a collection strategy to overcome the difficulties.

One problem that makes curbside compost programs hard to start and maintain is the value of the material picked up is less than the cost to pick it up. We solve this problem by creating shared-bins. By picking up from many people at once, the program is more affordable for all.

Most cities don't have compost programs because they are expensive to run and hard to start. Block Bins fix both of these issues.

We're helping Chicagoans run a grassroots campaign to build an efficient and affordable curbside compost program. #compost #chicago

Chicago DSS is seeking $18.8 million in grant subsidies that will shield participants from the true costs of their food scrap recycling program, and take existing customers away from micro-hauling services. blockbins.com/blog/cprg-dss-…
