We Fairies have been super sucessful in our efforts to divert compostables from the Shelby County Landfills. So successful in fact, that our stockpile is fast approaching the "unmanagable" threshold if people-power is our only given recourse. We are asking you, the sustainability-minded public, to help us mechanize by purchasing a small tractor with a bucket to make the handling of larger volumes of those fantastic kitchen scraps a reality. A machine will not only reduce our hands-on time in terms of materials management and free us up to focus our energy on growth and development, it will also improve the overall quality of the finished product. Let's give those friendly aerobic critters a helping hand!

 The Compost Fairy is a tax-exempt not-for-profit composting service that serves Memphis, Tennessee. The mission of the Compost Fairy is to provide Memphis residents a collection and drop off service for kitchen scraps, yard waste and other compostable materials in an effort to reduce landfill waste, increase resources for sustainable gardening, and connect people in the community. Currently, Memphis has extremely limited composting resources and opportunities for residents and businesses. The Compost Fairy strives to fill this gap by providing compostable material collection services, while educating the public on the process and benefits of composting, and returning soil-building finished compost to the community.
