Community Compost Project
"Together, we can become a community who composts!"
Join the party and take a pledge to compost! Here's how:
- Compost at home or pick up a bucket at the Cook Inletkeeper Community Action Studio (35911 Kenai Spur Hwy, Unit 13 in Soldotna) and bring your compost back to the studio or to Diamond M Ranch on K-Beach Rd;
- Every time you compost, weigh your food scraps (1 gallon =approx. 4lbs) and record in the logbook online or onsite;
- Keep your bucket, and keep composting! By keeping track, we can make a great case that our community is ready to compost on a larger scale!
If you compost 10 times, we'll send you a #FeedChickensNotLandfills sticker!
Take the pledge...
Community Compost Pro-Tips: Line your bucket with a paper bag for ease of transfer; compost ALL food scraps, including meat, pet hair, coffee grounds, etc. - what the chickens don't eat, they scratch into their bedding; fresher is better, so keep your food scraps cool in the garage, fridge, or freezer. *Please pulverize egg shells so the chickens don't associate eggs as food and eat their own eggs!
Home Compost Pro-Tips: Collect a big pile of dry leaves, sawdust, or other "brown" material to add to your "green" food scraps and garden waste - this will also minimize odor; use flexible metal garden fence to make a circle "bin" or wire pallets together to make an enclosure to keep dogs out.
We will occasionally contact you about Inletkeeper and KenaiChange opportunities that we think you'll enjoy. We will never sell your info to a third party. Any questions, please contact kaitlin@inletkeeper.org. We appreciate you!
