Who Are We?
Common Ground Compost LLC (CGC) has been providing Zero Waste services in NYC since 2014 through its Consulting, Events, Microhauling, and Education + Advocacy divisions.
Our Work
consulting & waste audits
Consulting is what we do best. We’re a team of TRUE Certified Waste Advisors, activists, and long-time trash nerds with a passion for Zero Waste program design. Reach out to us for a complete suite of services to learn how you can better handle your waste.
zero waste events
Composting at an event is a great way to show you’re serious about sustainability. It’s also an opportunity to show guests how seriously you take Zero Waste design, and allows them to engage in the process. Make your event a Zero Waste Event with CGC today.
education
Choose from our existing Lunch & Learn offerings or reach out to the CGC team to build a custom education package for your office, small business, or event. There’s nothing we love more than sharing the good word of a circular economy.
