Turning Trash into Treasure

Most people think of composting as dirty. And can you blame them? After all the image that comes to mind involves worms, trash, dirt, and old food scraps; all of which jumbled together does not paint a pretty picture. So what to do. As the world’s greenest building it would be inappropriate not to dispose of our trash in some eco-friendly manner, yet cultivating foul garbage inside one’s home is a seemingly lackluster option.

Enter here, the NatureMill automatic composter.

This innovative trash transformer turns the stomach-churning idea of compost into a thing of the past. The NatureMill automatic composter is guaranteed no fuss and best of all, no smell.

All fifteen of the Independence Station condos will be outfitted with the NatureMill product. Located in the heart of the home, the kitchen, families will simply deposit daily food scraps into the top of the composter. After two weeks of a painless and odor-less process, residents may begin removing rich compost to use as they please. May we suggest a small organic outdoor garden?

NatureMill’s composting capability is astounding. The powerful product can recycle 120 pounds of food scraps each month. Thus keeping 10.5 tons of resident’s food scraps out of landfills each year. And best of all, the composter doesn’t require much energy use, only a small amount of the green building’s solar and vegetable oil generated power will be used to run it.

We are so excited about the NatureMill composter as it brings us one step closer to reaching our goal of earning the world’s highest LEED rating.
