Part 8/10:
Anticipating a move to a new composting location to alleviate some of the issues and make the process cleaner, I found myself struggling to allocate time and commitment to such an endeavor. As the backlog of compost grew and the excitement of providing this community service faded, I made the difficult decision to close the community composting facility, notifying the community in a rare formal message.
Unfortunately, months passed without anyone stepping in to take over this initiative, leading many of the community members who depended on the composting service to resort to waste disposal companies instead—an unfortunate step backwards in nurturing our local capacity for organic waste recycling.
