What a fantastic weekend at the Fix-It-Fair! 🛠️ Thanks to your support, a ton of items were repaired AND waste was diverted from landfills. That's a win-win for our community and the environment. A huge shoutout to all of our volunteers and a very special thank you to Vidette Makes and Porter County Public Library System for making this possible!
In the first two weeks of our food waste compost pilot program, we have diverted 167 pounds of food and organic waste from the landfill!
This pilot program is starting in downtown Valparaiso neighborhoods and local volunteers. The pilot will run through the end of December 2023. With the information collected during the pilot, we hope to expand to other communities across Porter County!
