Enthusiasm is high for Detroit’s composting pilot program

Listen Later

The City of Detroit launched a pilot composting program for the first 200 people to sign up last week. 

Demand was so high that the first openings are filled and hundreds of others are on a wait list. That enthusiasm is good news for proponents of urban agriculture in Detroit. 

The City of Detroit’s Director of Sustainability, Tepfirah Rushdan, and the city’s Deputy Director of Urban Agriculture, Patrice Brown, joined The Metro to discuss the enthusiasm for the program, and the future of urban agriculture and sustainability in Detroit.
