Municipal tools: neighbourhood compost
Ecuador’s Alianza Basura Cero documents a growing compost network and municipal zero waste ordinances residents can advocate for locally. The alliance publishes a model ordinance and maps community compost sites, from Pomasqui and Cotacachi to neighbourhood clubs such as Club del Compost in Bellavista.
What you can do
- Find a mapped compostera comunitaria near you and volunteer for a work day.
- Ask your parish or neighbourhood council to adopt zero-waste ordinance language from the alliance toolkit.
Why it matters
Community compost keeps food sovereignty and soil health local while giving municipalities a replicable legal frame, reuse included, not just collection.
