How did Compost Clubhouse begin?

“Although Compost Clubhouse started locally in our community, I quickly had friends in several other neighborhoods that said, “we want a team!” In September 2020, we will officially be one year old! We are now serving 26 communities via integrated school programs and weekly residential curbside pick-ups. My long-term dream is that Compost Clubhouse will eventually teach the world — city by city, community by community,  state by state — how to preserve our planet.”

Our Team

Mona Barber

Founder

From a young age, my family and I have worked in building a family business while being kind to others and spreading love in the world. I’ve had many opportunities to give back to our community and those experiences have made me who I am today. As a mother, a business leader and mentor, I’m proud to have the opportunity to empower our youth to think outside themselves. Compost Clubhouse gives young people a sense of purpose and empowerment. They are literally changing the world, one bucket at a time! Someday, when these kids apply to college, after years of leadership experience, community outreach and positivity, they will have done something monumental!

The health of the planet is the main reason we do compost, trying to battle the exponentially decreasing health of our planet motivates us. We are living in one of the most urgent times my generation has and will ever see, so composting is a great way/was a great way for my family to do their part.

Emily, 15, Upper Arlington

Composting makes me feel that I am part of the solution to the climate crisis. That in some small way, any action we take can make a difference.

Mark, Curbside Subscriber, Short North

[Being part of Compost Clubhouse makes me] feel like even though I am one person, I am still helping and making an impact on the earth.

Emerson, 13, Short North

Composting is something that I believe very passionately in as it is an easy solution to be part of the waste/consumption puzzle.
