Community Composting (C3) is an expansion of our two year
Urban Composting Project.
We
are currently in the planning stages of the social enterprise endeavor
funded by Enterprising Non-Profits. The business will provide compost
pick up services to all Nelson residents as well as providing the
finished compost for sale. A mechanized facility will be constructed
that will aerate the piles and increase the rate of microbial activity,
taking only 4 weeks to transform from food waste to usable soil. The
business aims to employ youth and persons with disabilities where ever
possible. We are currently soliciting any community member that want to
share their business expertise to join one of the following working
groups:
1. Capital Funding Research
2. Regulation Requirements
3. Facility Construction
4. Marketing
5. Management Planning
