Composting Program
Community Compost Initiative
We aim to establish a community compost program to divert food waste from landfills and support our local farm. Residents are invited to use a countertop composter to convert their food waste into Dehydrated Food Waste (DFW) to be an alternative for compost. Choosing DFW over fresh food waste simplifies transportation and provides a mess free solution for residents.
Food Waste
Put all of your food scraps, coffee grounds, and more into Lomi. Say goodbye to odors and fruit flies! And say hello to reducing your carbon footprint!
Community Garden
Drop off your dehydrated food waste at The District of Summerland compost drop off location. We'll put it to use as fertilizer.
Fresh Organic Food
Enjoy a larger harvest from one of 36 community garden plots. Bring home the veggies to cook and start the cycle again.
43% of food waste in the Canada happens at the household level.
The average food waste household generates roughly 18 lbs of food waste every week. Let's make that zero!
Summerland x Lomi
The District of Summerland, which operates its own landfill, aims to reduce garbage costs by emphasizing composting and recycling over landfilling. Notably, about 70 percent of the waste collected could be diverted to more cost-effective methods. Additionally, food scraps will be processed into high-quality compost material, available for purchase by residents, further supporting waste reduction efforts.
Lomi can process all types of food including meat!
