Welcome to BioBag’s Community Heroes series! Each month, we will highlight community heroes that are making a difference in their communities and working to make their local environments cleaner and healthier.
This month, we are taking a look at Duluth Compost!
Duluth Compost was founded by Nathan Bronk, Duluth, MN in 2021. Growing up Nathan was taught to reduce waste and be mindful of my impact, and those lessons have stuck with him. When he saw a way to fill a gap to help the Duluth community and the environment, creating Duluth Compost was a perfect fit!
What led you to start your composting operation?
Bronk: Growing up I was taught to reduce waste and be mindful of my impact, and those lessons have stuck with me. When I saw a way to fill a gap to help the Duluth community and the environment it was a perfect fit!
Who do you serve, and how can people get in touch with you if they want to start composting?
Bronk: Duluth Compost serves Duluth, Minnesota and the easiest way to get started is to visit www.duluthcompost.com
How much organic material do you typically take in on a weekly basis?
Bronk: So far this year our biggest pickup day was 500 pounds. It’s exciting to see this number and our impact grow!
Please give us one fun fact about you or your business.
Bronk: One fun fact about Duluth Compost is that we partnered with a local farm this summer, processing food scraps into compost there for use on their fields. Community connections are the best and it is great to be a part of keeping food local.
