DCCI Mission
DCCI is a PFD program that aims to offer educational programs to our community, facilitate collaboration, and provide technical assistance to help implement campus and community composting sites in order to reduce overall food waste and divert scraps and wasted food from the landfill, turning it into useable soil.
What is composting, and why should we?
Composting is the controlled process of the decomposition of organic materials. In Delaware, 25% of what we send to the landfill is organic matter. We could be instead composting that material, putting those nutrients back into local soils, which helps close the loop on the local food system and improves our carbon footprint.
