Are you aware of sharewaste.com? That's how I found my current composter who takes the output from my guinea pig cages. (Our municiple contractor stopped taking anything but food scraps and plant cuttings, so the newpaper would have otherwise gone to landfill.)

Composter reported that two cubic yards of finished compost went to the tree planting project at a local high school a month or so ago. This made me very happy.

@cavyherd @urbanmicrofarmer @Bon_Jardin @compost I like ShareWaste - when I had bins out on the front berm I was happy to have people drop stuff off, less so now (a) the bins are in the back, guarded by the ducks (b) the city now does food scraps collection.
They have a weird definition of "neighbour". I got a notification this week of a new compost bin in my area - 40km away!

Yeah, they're thin on the ground, it's true. My composter is biking rangeā€”at a distance that's basicaly at my range these days. (I'm not in as good condition as I've been in the past.)

I think the next nearest is probably 20km or so.
