Starting an organic composting program in your neighborhood can be a simple and rewarding experience. First, you need to find out if your local area provides any guidance or legislation around composting. Then you should gather some materials, like 4 to 6 biodegradable bins and a tumbler if you want to turn the compost regularly; an aeration and stirring tool such as a shovel; natural soil; worms for faster decomposition; paper filters and grass clippings or other kinds of green material that don’t include twigs or leaves for carbon-to-nitrogen ratio balance. After obtaining these materials and having all necessary information about the program, you can educate yourself on how to set up and operate an organic compost system so that everybody in your neighborhood is able to benefit.

You can start an organic composting program in your neighborhood by getting a composting bin from a garden store, and following the steps for building and using a compost pile. You'll need to decide which items are suitable for composting — newspaper, cardboard, fruit and vegetable waste, coffee grounds, etc — as well as when to add material to the pile, when it is ready to use and other factors. Once you have set it up correctly with help from experts or guides online, you can be sure that your organic waste will become part of something productive while contributing positively towards reducing landfill waste.
