The Foodbank Urban Garden team is excited to be teaming up with Gem City Roller Derby to help make their scrimmage on Saturday, August 24th a zero waste event! The garden team will be onsite at the Dayton Convention Center to help sort items from the event into three categories: recyclable, compostable, and landfill. Our goal is to help divert as many materials as possible to be recycled or composted and minimize the amount of material going to the landfill. After the event, all compostable items will be processed in the Foodbank's in-vessel composter where we turn food scraps and organic materials into nutrient-rich compost for our raised garden beds!
