Urban Composting Pilot Project
The Zero Waste & Litter Cabinet is working with Philadelphia Parks & Recreation, Philadelphia’s Office of Sustainability, the Pennsylvania Department of Environmental Protection, and PA Recycling Markets Center to create a demonstration project for the state’s first urban composting permit. The site will serve as a public-private partnership model where a third party composting company will operate a composting business at the selected City-owned site. A vendor is currently being chosen to operate the site, which will be located at 5650 Rising Sun Avenue.
