Compost #926544

Asked March 23, 2026, 10:15 AM EDT

Hello, I’m a volunteer at a local food pantry. Occasionally there is fresh food that is no longer edible as it has turned bad. They do not have a program to compost the scraps and I’m trying to find something local to accommodate. Do you know of a local composting program. The food pantry is in Walled Lake. Thank you so much!!
