Successful, scalable zero-waste policy requires carrots, sticks. washingtonpost.com/climate-enviro…. #compost
Update: Department of Public Works says Office of Contracts is still contracting w the dump truck company District Logistics on "emergency" to manage farmers market compost. Move comes after contract appeals board said it should terminate its contract with District Logistics.
Fishy, indeed! Since 2011 FRESHFARM has worked w/ @compostcab to grow community composting, pioneering a market drop-off model later expanded by The District. But Compost Cab is no longer running the program. Read this @WAMU story for inside scoop! wamu.org/story/24/04/05…
Thx for amplifying.

Thank you for amplifying. We’ve worked w @CompostCab for 13 years and have been an invaluable partner.
Thx for your take on this, @rosenamy. Probably won’t surprise you to know that we still have not heard anything on next steps from @DCOCP. Crickets. Meanwhile, #compost dropoff continues with the vendor that the CAB specifically instructed OCP to terminate. Sigh. SMH.
What a story from @amanduhgomez, and I'm surprised it hasn't gotten more attention. A local compost company lost a contract with DC, to a company with no history in composting. The DC Contract Appeals Board's recent decision overturning the contract is wild. Here's some excerpts:
Must-read story, and this is a particularly troubling part of it.
A dump truck company is now managing DC's compost program at farmers markets, after the gov cut ties w Compost Cab The decision is puzzling: Compost Cab conceived of the program years ago, & has diverted more than 4.4 million pounds of waste from landfill wamu.org/story/24/04/05…
I've been an admirer (and customer) of @CompostCab for several years now, so I hope @MayorBowser, @DCOCP, and @DCDPW will commit to working with a qualified, committed partner to help meet #DC's ambitious goal for waste diversion. #foodwaste #compost wamu.org/story/24/04/05…
ICYMI. When the procurement process fails #SmallBusiness loses. So does the #environment. So does the #community. @MayorBowser @BrianneKNadeau @dcocp @DCDPW

Pls take 4 min to listen @wamu885's @amanduhgomez. For the a year we've been quietly fighting a battle for the soul of #DC's beloved food scrap dropoff program. It's about a lot more than #compost. H/T @JacobFenston @FRESHFARMDC wamu.org/story/24/04/05…
