There is no waste in nature. As anchors of the Santa Barbara community, we are involved with transitioning waste into the next resource.

Our mission is to inspire “composting with confidence” through community education and support. We help empower our fellow humans to utilize their waste, instead of shipping it “away”.

We work toward this mission by offering both residential and organizational advising.

Compost Host Training

Accessibility is key to building sustainable communities. Decentralized compost “hubs” allow neighbors to divert and convert food scraps regardless of access or ability. If you have the desire to strengthen your community by accepting scraps we are here to support you.
