About Us
Our history
An informal NL Community Composting Network sprouted in March 2023 inspired by existing small-scale composting programs in NL and recognizing the urgency, need, and support to enhance and replicate this model.
For over a year, the Steering Committee, made up of people from across the province, focused their vision on empowering collective climate action through small-scale community composting.
In January 2024, the Steering Committee was accepted to the Incubator Pilot Program by the Newfoundland and Labrador Federation of Co-operatives. The incubator was a robust six-month program involving training and workshops, mentoring teams, coworking and peer support opportunities, and access to funding for incorporation and start-up assistance.
We officially became a co-operative in August 2024, and we’re excited to start growing and adding to our network.
Rethink organics.
Revitalize communities.
Reclaim the future.
Become a member, shape composting in NL, and let’s build partnerships, grow stronger communities, and leave a lasting positive impact.
Let’s transform organics into wealth —join us today!
Land Acknowledgement
We respectfully acknowledge the land on which we gather as the ancestral homelands of the Beothuk, whose culture has now been erased forever. We also acknowledge the island of Ktaqmkuk (Newfoundland) as the unceded, traditional territory of the Beothuk and the Mi’kmaq. And we acknowledge Labrador as the traditional and ancestral homelands of the Innu of Nitassinan, the Inuit of Nunatsiavut, and the Inuit of NunatuKavut.
We recognize all First Peoples who were here before us, those who live with us now, and the seven generations to come. As First Peoples have done since time immemorial, we strive to be responsible stewards of the land and to respect the cultures, ceremonies, and traditions of all who call it home. As we open our hearts and minds to the past, we commit ourselves to working in a spirit of truth and reconciliation to make a better future for all.
