I wish WF could also offer a food waste drop-off point for customers wanting to reuse their waste but lack composting facilities. This is awesome!

As an avid composter I wish to correct one small error in your blog. You wrote "over time, the sun heats up the mix and it breaks down, eventually producing humus or compost." Any heat in a compost pile is generated internally: by the contents decomposing. Why do I bother to point this out? Because it means that one can compost in the shade, or during cold weather, or where it's cloudy, or ... you get the idea. I’m delighted to hear more about WF’s composting efforts.

I think that anyone who saw that coming down the road would have to stop and stare. I can only hope that ours turns out that eye-catching! - Mychael Gorecki, Plano Produce Green Mission Representative The fully painted compost bin looks great!
