The Compost Cooperative

Driven by racial and environmental justice, the Compost Co-operative hauls food scraps for residential, commercial, and institutional customers in and around Greenfield, MA. As topsoil erodes along with living-wage jobs, we build ownership and opportunity among people coming out of jail and others who face barriers to employment - and are committed to providing affordable housing for our formerly incarcerated members. We believe that diverting organics from the waste stream and back into the soil through the process of composting is an effective local response to inequality and the climate crisis.
