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.
