The March issue of Baltimore magazine features the Baltimore Compost Collective, a South Baltimore service managed by 2019 OSI-Baltimore Community Fellow Marvin Hayes that collects organic waste to create compost and fertilize the Curtis Bay community garden.

“We call the garden the Wakanda of South Baltimore,” Hayes, who first learned about urban composting at the Filbert Street Garden in Brooklyn-Curtis Bay, which was founded by 2011 OSI Community Fellow Jason Reed (learn more about the garden in our Impact Photo Series on the project), told Baltimore magazine. “[Curtis Bay] is one of the most polluted communities in the country, so we hope to be the small engine that will start to move Baltimore and its waste program forward.”
