Hi! I'm Brook and I started the HCC because I wanted to do something practical to help combat climate change. Composting was an easy choice because I personally find the processes of degradation and transformation incredibly fascinating and satisfying. In fact these biological (and chemical and physical) processes are so interesting to me I even slogged away and earned a PhD in the area. However rather than getting stuck into academic pursuits I find it much more rewarding to put what I know into practice. After all, composting can be boiled down into a balancing act of carbon, nitrogen, water and oxygen. Once we take care of these elements then compost can help our local and global environment in multiple ways.

Here at the HCC we recognise that not everyone has the space or time or inclination to compost their own kitchen scraps. But we'd love to do the composting for you! The HCC compost heap is hugely efficient and always hot thanks to a constant stream of kitchen scraps from dozens of local households. So rather than send your organic food waste to landfill let us take it and transform it.
