Our Program
At Greenmount Compost Factory (GCF), we're more than just a composting program – we're a community-driven initiative with a mission to cultivate healthier soil, reduce waste, and promote community wealth. Located at our Johnston Square Farm & Garden, across the street from the historic Greenmount Cemetery, our membership-based program offers a simple and effective way to participate in composting while supporting local initiatives.
Here's what sets our program apart:
Soil Quality Improvement: By composting with GCF, you're not just disposing of waste – you're enriching local soil quality. Our composting process creates nutrient-rich soil amendments that can be used to nourish gardens, parks, and urban green spaces throughout Johnston Square and beyond.
Waste Diversion: We believe in minimizing waste and maximizing resources. By diverting organic materials from the traditional waste stream, we reduce the burden on landfills and help create a more sustainable future for our community and the planet.
Community Wealth Building: At GCF, we're committed to reinvesting in Johnston Square and supporting the neighborhoods we serve. That's why 50% of the revenue generated through our composting program is shared with our partners at the Rebuild Johnston Square Neighborhood Organization. By composting with us, you're not just improving soil – you're contributing to the economic well-being of your community.
Ready to make a positive impact with composting? Join us at the Greenmount Compost Factory and be a part of the movement towards a greener, healthier, and more vibrant Johnston Square.
How it Works
We offer two convenient membership options to fit your lifestyle and needs: Pick-up and Drop-off. Whether you prefer the ease of curbside collection or the flexibility of visiting our facility, there's a membership option for you.
Pick-up Membership ($25/month): Just like your regular trash and recycling service, simply place your GCF compost bucket filled with compostable materials outside your house every Tuesday morning. Our team will swing by and swap it out with a fresh, clean bucket for the following week. It's hassle-free!
Drop-off Membership ($10/month): Visit our welcoming GCF facility at your convenience to drop off your compost bucket filled with organic materials. Take home a fresh, clean bucket to continue composting throughout the week. With drop-off membership, you have the flexibility to compost on your own schedule.
