Community composting plays a vital role in promoting composting at all scales. Because operations are often sited locally, they provide unique opportunities to engage, educate, and even employ the communities they serve. This also provides unique challenges as compared to more remote facilities. By supporting well-managed local sites, individuals, elected officials and local planners can take immediate action to reduce waste and improve their soils for climate resilience and local food production. Best management practices (BMPs) are essential to avoiding nuisances and creating a high-quality compost end product.
