How does it work?

  • Step 1: Participants separate their food scraps and other organic materials from their trash and deposit them into a 5-gallon compost bin


  • Step 2: Willow Tree Community Compost collects the filled bin weekly or bi-weekly and replaces it with a clean bin


  • Step 3: The organic material is brought to Sunrise Farm where it is mixed with carbon material and made into a nutrient rich soil amendment to be added to the fields


  • Step 4: Together we turn a waste product into a valuable resource for our community!
