Food & GardenPodgoricaMontenegro #ForkToFarm: backyard composting from Danilovgrad to TuziComposting 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.

Food & GardenWarsaw#ForkToFarm Poland: improving bio-waste collection in three municipalitiesA campaign turning composting from a good idea into a daily habit The Polish Zero Waste Association participates in the #ForkToFarm campaign by Zero Waste Europe, working with three Polish municipalities to improve bio-waste collection rates. The campaign combines practical infrastructure (bins, collection services) with resident education to move organic kitchen waste out of the mixed bin and into the composting stream. What the campaign involves - Working with the three participating municipalities to audit current bio-waste practices - Distributing composting bins and providing set-up guidance to households - Running awareness campaigns explaining what counts as bio-waste and how to compost correctly - Documenting results so the three municipalities can become reference cases for other Polish towns How to engage - Polish residents: check whether your municipality participates in #ForkToFarm and request a bio-waste bin if you don't already have one - Municipalities: apply to the next #ForkToFarm cohort through Zero Waste Europe or contact Polish Zero Waste Association for national programme support - Teachers and community leaders: run a bio-waste workshop using the #ForkToFarm materials: Zero Waste Association can provide resources in Polish Why it matters Kitchen scraps are the easiest fraction to divert, yet they still fill mixed bins across Poland. Three municipalities testing #ForkToFarm together can show neighbours that composting is a daily habit, not a pilot novelty.
