GalGael
Idea in a Nutshell
We would like to set up a community composting facility on the Ibrox Commons for local residents to be able to compost food waste, using hot composting techniques. This project comes in response to feedback from members of the community who would like to compost, but currently do not have access to facilities. In addition we would set up a cold composting system for garden waste on the Ibrox Commons, and expand Galgael’s food waste composting capacity.
