The Composting Program Coordinator will assist in the expansion and operation of a city wide curbside compost pickup. This

includes the outreach and education it would take to engage community members and area businesses in the program and get

them participating, the actual composting of the materials, educating gardeners on how & why to compost, and distributing

finished compost to our gardens. This will make our gardens more successful, create more community buy-in to our program, help

close the loop of valuable soil nutrients which are largely going to waste at this time, and ultimately contribute to increased access

to healthy locally grown organic produce for the community.

The member should be capable of serving with very little overhead, and should be very independent.

Other responsibilities include:

 Recruit community members and area businesses into the program through outreach and education, providing the raw

materials to be composted

 Provide education and insight to gardeners on best practices for composting and utilizing compost

 Develop a curbside pickup route and procedures to ensure sanitary conditions at all times

Use the Land Bank’s tools and resources to develop large scale hot compost windrows, resulting in quick transformation

of raw inputs into finished compost

Recruit volunteers to help with the program, and help publicize the program’s benefits and the cooperation of our

community partners
