Programme nearbyFood & GardenLisbonCommunity composting pilots: ZERO accompanies municipalities across PortugalOrganic waste stays local: feeds local soil ZERO is accompanying multiple Portuguese municipalities in launching community composting pilots, keeping food and garden waste in the neighbourhood loop rather than sending it to landfill. In Fornos de Algodres, the Muxagata project combines community composting with door-to-door collection: funded by Zero Waste Europe and GAIA. Castelo Branco is running a parallel composting pilot with ZERO's direct support. How community composting works - Residents deposit food scraps and garden trimmings at shared composting points - ZERO helps municipalities design, site, and monitor the composting system - Finished compost is returned to the community: for gardens, schools, or public green spaces What you can do - Ask your local council whether a community composting pilot is planned or running - Volunteer as a composting point steward: ZERO and partner municipalities recruit residents for monitoring roles - Use the ZERO website to find resources and contact information for composting support Why it matters Organic waste is about a third of Portuguese household rubbish. Keeping it out of landfill reduces methane emissions, builds local soil, and cuts disposal costs: three wins that make composting one of the highest-return interventions in any zero waste plan.compostingcommunityorganic +1
