Coming December 2025
The City of Detroit's compost program turns food scraps into a valuable resource for local farms and gardens. By processing organic waste locally, the program produces nutrient-rich compost soil amendments that help boost soil health and support sustainable food production. This initiative not only reduces waste but also contributes to the vitality of urban agriculture in Detroit, creating a positive cycle of local growth, nourishment, and community resilience.
