The idea
Program to implement composting for restaurants and public compost bins near trash/recycling bins for Egleston Square.
Who it helps and why
Introducing waste saving measures such as composting on a larger scale and including businesses will help reduce waste going to landfills, increase knowledge on the subject, and promotes a more climate friendly atmosphere. The pilot program would assist with nearby businesses switching to compostable materials, meaning all food/drink waste would go into public compost bins on the street and in store, and restaurants would compost their behind the counter waste.
