Introducing "The Community Composting Podcast"

Podcast Cover Art.jpg

It’s ironic that we’re producing our Inaugural “Community Composting Podcast” on Inauguration Day. Not to take away from Kamala and Joe, but what’s going on in Orlando right now to recycle food scraps is pretty dang exciting.

This episode interviews our team members, Christy and Rich, who thoroughly enjoy rescuing food waste from the landfill. There are a lot of interesting tid-bits about composting and the science behind it, as well as how the company plans to turn Orlando into a full fledged composting metropolis of the Southeastern United States.

I guarantee you’ll walk away with the warm and fuzzees.

Take a Tour at O-Town's Compost Site

On the morning of September 26th, we will be opening up our composting site to the Orlando community for a tour of our operations. Come see how we have processed over 14 tons of food scraps into compost, returning nutrients to the soil. Also, there will be a permaculture component of the tour focused on growing local food and working with nature rather than against it.

It’s crazy to think how OTC has grown in the last year (hey 2020 hasn’t been all bad), and we hope to share the inspiration with everyone else. We’re not the only ones who want to see food waste recycling become commonplace in Central Florida.

After the tour, there will be a plant sale of mostly native Florida perennial plants that are easy to foster and maintain. Stepping out of the industrial food system and community composting go hand in hand, so we’re always trying to promote growing food in place of lawns.

The following tour times on 9/26 will be 10am-11am, 11am-12pm, and 12pm-1pm. Send us an email if you haven’t already to express your interest in attending. Masks are required for everyone’s safety, and you are welcome to bring guests.
