In addition, Town of Carrboro staff plan to expand <br />composting outreach as well in conjunction with sales of backyard and <br />kitchen composting bins. The Town also plans to engage with the community <br />to increase composting efforts through a new initiative called the Green <br />Neighborhoods Grant Program, which will provide funding to Carrboro <br />residents to complete projects related to climate action. <br />The Town conducted a climate action survey in 2019 in order to obtain <br />information about backyard composting, gardening, commuting, and food <br />choices in Carrboro. The Town plans to re-administer the survey biennially in <br />order to continue to collect information about composting rates.
