ECO: Food Cycle Build
ORGANIZATION: Solana Center for Environmental Innovation
Please visit the new page to apply.
Help run the Solana Center's Food Cycle Program, turning food waste into a high-quality soil supplement, and closing the loop of organic waste! Volunteers help process and tabulate incoming organic material, maintain compost piles, and prep buckets to be returned to program members for more collection. This project is great for those that are not sensitive to the "ick" factor and want to get VERY hands on with waste reduction!
The Food Cycle Program is a co-op where San Diego County residents and small businesses preserve their organic waste using the Bokashi method and then deliver it to Solana Center to be turned into a nutritious soil amendment that is distributed back into the community. This process reduces tons of waste sent to the landfill, reduces methane pollution, and creates a healthy soil supplement for San Diego gardens!
Project Requirements & Important Notes
Attire: Wear closed-toe shoes and clothing that can get VERY dirty.
Physical Ability: This activity can be quite physically intensive and pretty messy! Must be able to wield a pitchfork, push a wheel borrow, and lift buckets of up to 30 lbs. Some accommodations can be made, please ask.
Age Requirements: Ages 14 and up. All volunteers under the age of 18 will need their parent or guardian to fill out the registration form on their behalf.
