Did you know?
We produce toxic methane when…

We go out to restaurants, brew coffee, order online and just go about our daily routines.  Every time we throw away food it ends up in landfills, producing toxic greenhouse gases which lead to global warming. An estimated one-third of all the food produced in the world goes to waste.

By composting wasted food and other organics, we reduce methane emissions, we eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers and create rich nutrient-filled soil. Key Community Compost locally brings many benefits: educating, empowering and bringing neighbors together, creating greener neighborhoods, improving local soils, growing gardens, safeguarding our water supply and all while tackling climate change

Our goal
Repurposing food waste into much needed nutrient rich compost soil

A Zero Waste Culture has partnered with compost experts Gardens and Composting, and with the support of the Village of Key Biscayne and Bill Baggs State Park, and together we are creating the Key Biscayne Community Compost.
