The Martineztown Community Compost  Co-op is currently operating in partnership with Second Presbyterian Church, located at 812 Edith Blvd NE, Albuquerque, NM 87102 (parking on Page Ave). They hold biweekly work days every Tuesday from 4pm - sunset and Sunday 12pm - 1pm. Everyone one is welcomed to join for a work day or drop off food scraps.  A typical work day involves turning compost piles of unfinished food scraps and sifting finished compost. There is plenty of finished compost to take home.

We're happy to share out these accomplishments we've completed as a Co-op so far (April to July 2025):

• We've diverted 1,147.2 lbs of food scraps from going to the landfill; about the weight of a concert grand piano.
• If 1147.2 lbs were to have gone to the landfill, it would have created 2.36 metric tons of COe2. This is equivalent to 5,845 miles driven by an average gasoline-powered passenger vehicle, which we've prevented from going into the atmosphere!
• Instead we created 9.3 cubic ft of compost. This covers 324 square feet at a 1 inch application, which is the size of a studio home. 

Thank you to all who have participated in our work days and have dropped off your food scraps! We rely on each and everyone of you to keep this work going. 

This is only our first 4 months as a Co-op, we've averaged composting 300 lbs/ month and have the capacity to include more. So if you haven't dropped food scraps yet, we have the space for you, so come join us. Just a reminder that you don't have to stay for the full hour, come for as long as you'd like and as many times a month you have capacity for.
