"By rethinking how we consume and discard, I have come to see composting as a quiet yet powerful act of stewardship for the Earth."
"The volunteers have provided information on timely basis and have done everything to ensure the entire project doesn’t create any inconvenience to the residents."
"Doing this as a community enterprise in a structured way can make it very productive and successful. Without this collective support and encouragement, I may not have been able to do it as regularly."
"The composting process is extremely easy with no smells or bugs in the house. Need of space within the household is just the bin size. It is a great step towards sustainability and reducing litter going down the chute."
"Very happy with this green initiative and an opportunity to recycle meaningfully and conveniently at home. The process is very simple and doable. Thank you to Rejuvrth for initiating and running this successfully last 6 months."
"Best part is how simple and effective the process is. We are also more conscious of our food purchasing and consumption habits, and are now making more informed choices as a family."
"This project has greatly reduced the amount of garbage thrown into our chute — we used to clear our dustbin at least twice a day prior to this. After we started the composting project, we clear our dustbin only once every 2 days!"
