Stop by Montclair Community Library to check out the Compost Montclair display. Pick up free supplies to upcycle a container to make a personalized kitchen composter and to learn more about home composting. Starting Monday, April 4, the library will be open Monday-Saturday, 10:00-5:00.

"Tony's Top Soil" makes for year-round garden wonders! This Montclair resident is committed to fertilizing with compost made only from organic material. Apple cores, orange peels, coffee grounds, tea bags, egg shells, peanut shells, and more. "I always garden with love for the best quality ingredients for cooking." It's a win, win situation! Tony's approach reduces waste going to the landfill and results in delicious and healthy meals for his family. 🍎🍊🥑

Meet the King and Queen of Compost who are spreading the word about how important, impactful and fun it is to compost! Reduce organic waste going to the landfill. Create an on-going supply of fertilizer for your garden and potted plants. The library is just starting the Compost Montclair initiative thanks to ChangeX and the Friends of Montclair Community Library. Watch for information, ideas and supplies to help Montclair residents get started composting." Credit: Painting by Artist and Compost Montclair team member Sharie Boyle.

The Compost Montclair team will research, learn and share information about composting with community members to encourage a reduction of organic waste going to the County Landfill. We will explore the viability and options for on-site composting, local collection and nearby initiatives with the hopes to set up a community composting drop off site at the Montclair Community Library. We will also offer starter kits for household composting, offer virtual library programs and disseminate information around the County to promote community-wide composting.
