This month has been exceptional as we’ve collaborate with and for an autonomous food waste collection. Using an autonomous robot to pick up food waste has helped us uncover the most sustainable methods for diverting food waste in Detroit. We are fortunate to work with leaders in both the tech and green space to drive this innovative initiative forward.

🌱✨ Happy National Composting Day! 🌿 May 29th was the day, and to celebrate, we’re thrilled to share photos from our beginners composting workshop, a collaboration with Keep Growing Detroit and Georgia Street Collective. 💚

It was a blast guiding both beginner composters and those who have never composted on their composting journey. These workshops show our mission at Scrap Soils: creating a greener Detroit. Whether you’re composting solo or using our service, let’s close the food loop, TOGETHER! 💚🌎
