You might have noticed stacks of bagged compost outside our Carrboro and Hillsborough stores. The compost comes from Brooks, the same contractor who picks up our kitchen scraps!
Brooks’s compost is for amending your soil; it’s not intended as potting soil or topsoil. It is made from food waste gathered from many local businesses, including us. This includes kitchen waste as well as items like wax produce boxes and paper towels, which also go into the compost dumpster.
WSM has been working with Brooks Contractors since the early 2000s for food waste composting. They are a family business located in Goldston, NC.
