On behalf of the City of Greenbelt and our project partners, Compost Crew and Trinity Assembly of God, I would like to invite you to a ribbon-cutting ceremony for our new composting facility. 

The ceremony will take place on Friday, May 3, at 12 noon at the facility site, which is located on the grounds of project partner Trinity Assembly of God. The address is 7800 Good Luck Road, near the intersection with Hanover Parkway.

The site is where food scraps collected from households in Greenbelt’s new curbside food waste collection pilot program are taken for processing into compost. The finished compost is returned to Greenbelt for use in community gardens and in landscaping public spaces.  

Compost Crew – a locally-owned food waste recycling business that also is a project partner – collects the food scraps and manages the composting process at its newly-constructed Compost Outpost facility at Trinity Church. The project is funded through a grant from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA).

The program for the event will highlight important features of the composting operation and the overall project and will recognize program partners. Parking is available in the Trinity Church parking lot. The ceremony will be a zero-waste event. It will take place rain or shine. We hope you will join us to celebrate this new component of Greenbelt’s ecological landscape. 

Please RSVP and direct questions to lrobles@greenbeltmd.gov.

Feel free to share and invite others.
