The Upper Valley Super Compost Project (UVSCP) is a nonprofit initiative to bring tailored compost infrastructure to public schools and support the development of cooperative, fully integrated school composting programs. We work with schools to find diversion and disposal options that work for them, avoid practices that pollute or negatively impact recipient communities, increase real-world problem-solving for students, and enhance the biological health of soil in school and community landscapes.

In this VORS 2025 session, we’ll share UVSCP's approach and impact, look at a few school case studies, and consider the importance of growing stronger local area ties.
