In celebration of International Compost Awareness Week on May 6-12, the City of Sarasota is partnering with residents and businesses to help reduce the collective impact on the landfill and environment. The City’s Sustainability team and staff from local nonprofit Sunshine Community Compost are working with three local restaurants—Libby’s Café and Bar, Louies Modern and Muse at The Ringling—by supplying five-gallon buckets and training kitchen staff on how to collect pre-consumer food scraps. At the end of the week, the buckets will be transported to One Stop Landscape and Supply, where they can be composted into rich soil. The City has also teamed up with Sunshine Community Compost during its Compost-A-Thon, in which 100 residents have signed up to learn about composting and agreed to compost their kitchen scraps all week long and drop them off at designated community compost sites.
