Community powered composting.      
Turning Long Beach food waste into collective gold.




What goes in our community compost piles?




  1. Carbon/Brown
    (we primarily use mulch)
  2. Nitrogen/Green
    (your food scraps)
  3. Air/Oxygen
    (volunteers turn piles)
  4. Water
    (courtesy of our trusty garden hose)
  1. Bacteria
    (most numerous and responsible for most of the decomposition and heat generation in compost)
  2. Fungi
    (numerous during both mesophilic and thermophilic phases of composting)
  3. Actinomycetes
    (most commonly seen toward the end of the composting process)
