About this Event

The Lancaster Compost Co-Ops (LCC) is a volunteer-led community initiative that enables Lancaster residents to participate in reducing landfill waste by creating high quality compost.

At this one-hour event, you will learn about composting, understand the roles and responsibilities of co-op membership, and meet other members. Attending the free orientation and signing the member waiver is required to gain access to the bin. You may complete your orientation at any site and choose your permanent site when you fill out your member form.

After completing the orientation you will be able to start dropping-off your food scraps and participate in work days. If you would like to sit during the event, please bring your own chairs. Otherwise, participants may stand or sit on the ground.

Come join our community of energetic composters!

Why Join?

  • Reduce your environmental footprint by diverting landfill waste and reduce your greenhouse gas emissions.
  • Take home finished compost when available to amend your soil at home.
  • Meet other like-minded people in your community.

About Us

When Lancaster Compost Co-Ops was started in April 2021, Lancaster residents had zero alternatives to divert organic food and garden scraps from the general waste stream beyond individual backyards. Composting is a mainstream activity in American cities – and we believed it was high time for Lancaster to address the existing community interest. LCC currently has several co-op sites in Lancaster City. A local community member, or "captain," independently runs the site with the support of the community participants.
