Waste

This is an informal group of volunteers, organized by a Lincoln, RI, resident.

"We are a Lincoln-based all-volunteer community group who organize local litter clean-up initiatives for the maintenance and beautification of our local ponds and neighborhoods."

From the Facebook page, May 3, 2021

We're a group of volunteers that are committed to improving our community by cleaning up litter, as the name implies :)

Cleaning up Providence one piece of trash at a time!

This group is open to anyone interested in helping to pick up trash around our beautiful state of Rhode Island. We'll organize monthly gatherings in public locations, all you need is a grabber or gloves and a trash receptacle (bag or bucket). This is a free, easy and accessible activity that has a direct impact on the environment. All ages welcome!

The Compost Plant closes "the loop in the food system, turning food scraps and "waste" products into compost and soil mixes that help gardeners and farmers grow more local food. We believe more local food means healthier communities...and we believe it all starts with healthy soil."
