Nonprofit Organization Management - Chapel Hill, North Carolina, United States
CompostMates at Carolina primarily serves to expand access to composting among off-campus UNC-CH students who lack the ability to donate or maintain their own compost. In doing so, CompostMates achieves lower methane gas production in landfills through the diversion of organic waste. CompostMates facilitates this mission through a free pick up service of food scraps and compostable foodware. CompostMates secondarily serves to instill sustainable and environmentally-conscious practices into its members, volunteers, and broader social media followers. Additionally, CompostMates supports local organizations, including community gardens, with their mission through advocacy, publicity, and food scrap donations.
