Central Portugal builds an organic waste loop
Castelo Branco, a municipality of around 53,000 in central Portugal's interior, is launching a community composting pilot with the direct accompaniment of ZERO. The pilot establishes community composting points where residents can deposit food scraps and garden waste, with the resulting compost returned for local use.
When & where

- Training dates and resident onboarding published via ZERO and the municipal environmental office
How to join
