Green Cone Information

|
The Green Cone is an in-ground digester that breaks down food scraps, including animal products, and distributes the nutrients into nearby soil. After installation, they are zero maintenance. Place it where it gets at least a half-day of full sun and well drained soil year-round. Add food scraps and close the lid. That's it!
The bottom part of the cone is buried in the ground, enabling micro-organisms and insects in the soil to devour the food scraps. The sun heats up the top part of the cone, which speeds up the decomposition process, especially in warmer weather. |

Green Cones for Small Schools
For small programs, on-site management of food scraps is likely the best option. Learn more in the booklet, Green Cones for Small Schools, to help small schools, day care centers, and other small programs to decide whether Green Cones might work for them.
