💐We hope everyone enjoyed their Mother’s Day weekend honoring our mother figures… and Mother Earth! Did you receive beautiful flowers but wonder what you’re going to do with them when they’re done adorning your space? While we do accept plants, we ask that you check for plastic, rubber bands and other contaminants. Remember, when in doubt, throw it out.
Beep, beep, beep! Compost Crew rolled over to the District’s “Truck Touch” celebration to represent the Compost DC Food Waste Collection program. Lots of DC residents expressed their gratitude for being able to participate in the program and we just have to chime in and say that we are honored to be a part of this team effort! 🛻🌱

Spring Beautification Day was a success today. Thank you to all the students, parents, teachers, and volunteers who put in some hard work!
Appreciate the support by @_compostcrew - who dropped off a bag of their compost to fertilize the soil of the school yard with composted scraps from its students’ homes! ♻️
