Montenegro #ForkToFarm: backyard composting from Danilovgrad to Tuzi

Composting kits + a Viber community keeping households engaged Through the #ForkToFarm campaign coordinated by Zero Waste Europe, Zero Waste Montenegro distributed backyard composting kits: bins and Bokashi liquid: to households in Danilovgrad (150 households) and Tuzi (300 households for separate collection + 50 for backyard composting). A Viber community group provides ongoing guidance, lets participants share progress, and troubleshoot problems: turning a one-time kit distribution into a sustained community practice. What the programme includes - Composting bin and Bokashi liquid distributed to each participating household - Viber messaging community for tips, troubleshooting, and community accountability - In Podgorica: 100 composting bins distributed to urban residents connected to the Urban Garden project - Individual bio-waste management plans developed for participating communities How to engage - Danilovgrad and Tuzi residents: contact the municipality or Zero Waste Montenegro to join the composting programme and receive a kit - Other Montenegrin municipalities: ask Zero Waste Montenegro about bringing #ForkToFarm to your community - Residents across Montenegro: join the conversation: follow Zero Waste Montenegro for news on programme expansion in 2025 Why it matters Montenegro's April 2024 Law on Waste Management includes EPR and single-use plastics bans: creating new legal ground for composting programmes to grow. #ForkToFarm builds the community infrastructure before the regulations make it mandatory.
