Urban Compost is a new nonprofit organization whose aim is to offer composting options in 100% of Minneapolis' high-density buildings, such as apartments, condos, schools and businesses. They then provide this compost material to local urban farmers who are looking to grow high-quality foods.
Founded in 2010, they connect with urban dwellers, businesses and schools to spread the word of the benefits of composting, even for people who live in multi-unit dwellings like apartments and condos. They are working with the City of Minneapolis to facilitate better composting options for its residents and businesses.
We are very encouraged by this great new organization -- we hope they will think about working in St. Paul! If you are interested in reaching out to them, contact them by email or by phone at (952) 942-2081.

This blog is designed to help our friends in the Saint Paul Hamline-Midway Neighborhood to find local places to recycle or reuse just about anything that gets into your home. This has developed out of a service need identified by HMEG (Hamline Midway Environmental Group). Please add to our knowledge base by e-mailing your information to Midwayrecycles [at] hmeg [dot] org.
