Turning Scraps into Sustainability: LTSFA’s Compost Education Workshop
If It Grows, It Goes! — Compost Education Workshop
On August 19, Love to Share Foundation America (LTSFA) hosted “If It Grows, It Goes!” at the Tuckahoe Area Library in partnership with CVWMA and NOPE Compost Co.
The workshop introduced community members to the basics and benefits of composting, including how food scraps can be turned into valuable soil instead of ending up in landfills. Participants learned what can be composted, how to identify certified compostable items, and the different ways to compost at home or through local drop-off programs.
A key focus was CVWMA’s Purple Cart Program, which helps residents easily recycle food scraps and reduce waste across Richmond and Henrico.
The session highlighted how simple everyday actions—like separating food waste—can collectively make a big environmental impact.
LTSFA thanks CVWMA, NOPE Compost Co., Tuckahoe Area Library, and all attendees for making the event a success.
Small scraps can make a big impact!
