RIC's environmental justice task force works on many projects supporting Racine's sustainability efforts with the most recent being Racine's Food Waste Composting Program.

We’re excited to invite you to join the Racine Food Waste Composting Program—a simple, affordable way to reduce household waste and help the environment!

For just $25 per year, fill your composting bucket with common food scraps like fruit and veggie peels, coffee grounds, eggshells, and more. Once your bucket is full, just drop it off at one of our convenient locations across the city. We’ll handle the rest—turning your scraps into nutrient-rich compost that supports Racine’s sustainability efforts. Click here to join.
