WasteNot Compost

Come say hi to the WasteNot team all weekend @ Square Roots in Lincoln Square!

“For the first few years in business, WasteNot’s co-founder and CEO Liam Donnelly handled pick-ups with a bike and trailer, until they transitioned to electric trucks in 2018 that could handle their growing volume. Using 100 percent EVs means while WasteNot’s team is hard at work collecting the city’s compost, they’re minimizing emissions even more.”

Thank you to and .hammersmith for shining a light on WasteNot’s commercial compost collection service and our partners in this recent feature.

Thank you to all of the WasteNot members that shared over 1,000 pounds of finished compost this week with - a remarkable organization that empowers refugee families in Albany Park!

Since 2012, Global Gardens has transformed an empty lot into a thriving urban garden, providing land, tools, and training for over 75 refugee growers.

WasteNot’s Community Garden Partner network allows our members to share finished compost with local nonprofits like Global Gardens. This nutrient-rich resource will help refugee families cultivate fresh & organic vegetables to provide supplemental income, food security, and economic opportunity.

The compost donated to Global Gardens has already been put to good use by the farmers on-site. We look forward to being back in the fall!
