City Recognizes International Compost Awareness Week


International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW), May 3-9, is an education and awareness campaign celebrated worldwide!


Composting is a powerful way to reduce waste, improve soil health, and reduce greenhouse gas emissions. 


Did you know that through the City of Chicago’s Food Scrap Drop-Off program, you can get your household food scraps composted for free? This thriving program has over 8,800 households participating and has diverted 1,554,000 pounds of food scraps from landfills to composting since its inception in 2023. Thanks to a partnership with Chicago Public Libraries, the program has recently expanded to a total of 33 drop-off locations. Learn more and sign up today!


Check out the Illinois Food Scrap & Composting Coalition’s ICAW 2026 Calendar of Events for opportunities to learn more about composting taking place in our area and across the state.
