I wrote a post a while ago about compostable disposables. I mentioned in that post that the thicker compostable plastic could only be composted in a commercial facility, and that is not always easy to find access to those facilities. Well, I have found a resource to help eco-minded people solve that problem.
Collective Resource is a business based in Evanston that is committed to helping you have zero-waste events. The owner, Erlene Howard, is tremendously knowledgeable about how to compost, what to compost, and why to compost.
For a fee, Collective Resource will bring compost buckets to you for your event (or to your home for household composting), help you figure out what goes into the buckets, and pick them up after the event. All food scraps and other compostables are taken to Land and Lakes in Chicago where they become nutrient-rich garden soil.
