Huge shout out to Boone's Bagels & Marketplace for leading the way and diverting 122 pounds of food scraps this February. That material is now on its way to becoming nutrient-rich compost instead of landfill waste. We appreciate you being part of the Peake Compost program!

February recap! ♻️
Thanks to this amazing community we diverted 710.93 pounds of food scraps from the landfill. That prevented about 298 pounds of CO₂ emissions, the same carbon impact as about 6 trees absorbing carbon for a year.

We also welcomed several new members to the compost community. Our next goal is to break 1,000 pounds in a single month. Let’s keep growing!
