Join ShareWaste

ShareWaste is a free service connecting people who would like to compost their kitchen scraps but lack access to necessary space and facilities.

ShareWaste connects people to recycle their organic waste, make more soil and grow produce. It bring together hosts (who receive organic waste) who are already composting, worm-farming or keeping chickens, with donors (who donate their organic waste) to process kitchen scraps into new soil.

Now you can divert waste from landfill while getting to know the people around you.

Go to sharewaste.com to get started.
