North Carolina Chapter Held Discussions, Presented Grants at Annual Meeting

	NCCC 2024 annual meeting

The North Carolina Composting Council held their annual meeting on June 18, where more than 45 attendees learned about the NCCC’s work developing, promoting and expanding composting and compost use in North Carolina. Guests from across the state included the City of Raleigh, the City of Greensboro, North Carolina State University, Vermeer All Roads, SCS Engineers and more.

Two panels – including NCCC's board members and executive director, as well as representatives from the NC Department of Environmental Quality (NCDEQ) – discussed unique perspectives about their current work and the future of composting in North Carolina. Some key talking points included the need for more funding and infrastructure, as well as an increase in public-private partnerships to expand composting and compost use in North Carolina.

The NCCC also recognized their 2024 grant recipients Second Harvest Food Bank, Compost Mates, and Toward Zero Waste.
