Compost

GW offers a weekly food waste drop-off program. Food waste is collected by volunteers and then sent to Prince George's County Organics Compost Facility. Composting is a great way to reduce waste and helps agricultural crops! Volunteers collect compost every Friday morning in Kogan plaza. Save up your food waste for the week in a sealed container or in the refrigerator (to reduce smell) and drop it off each Friday. Follow @campaigngw on Instagram to stay updated on times and locations for compost drop-off.

 

List of Compostable Waste:

• fruit and vegetable scraps
• bread
• eggshells
• meat
• bones
• dairy products
• tea bags (without staples)
• pizza boxes
• soiled cardboard (without tape)
• any product labeled acceptable for industrial composting facilities.

Materials can always be brought to our volunteers who know how to properly identify materials and can help answer any questions. As always, when in doubt we encourage that questionable materials be thrown out.
