LPCA Baltimore Compost Collective

LPCA Baltimore Compost Collective

The LPCA is partnering with the Baltimore Compost Collective (BCC) on a program to increase composting in Locust Point. The BCC is a local service that collects food scraps from residences in Baltimore neighborhoods and composts the material at the Filbert Street Community Garden in Curtis Bay, where it is used to grow fresh produce and build urban food security. They also have a youth entrepreneurship program that employs local teenagers and trains them in workforce skills, food access programming and community-scale composting.

The LPCA is offering to cover one month of BCC services for free ($25 value) for each LPCA member!

How to join:

1.  Sign up for Compost Service
2. Wait for the BCC to deliver a composting bucket to your house
3. Once your bucket is delivered, complete the sign-up process by registering for service on the BCC website. You will receive a reminder email from BCC to do this. The service is $25/month after your first month.

If you are not an LPCA member, you may join here. Questions? Contact Dave Arndt  or Marvin Hayes.

Locust Point Community Survey Results

Locust Point Community Survey Results are In

This spring, the Locust Point Association (LPCA) created a community survey to:

  1. Understand the needs and wants of the community
  2. Help determine what LPCA should focus on as a board
  3. Understand interest areas for grants in the neighborhood
  4. Prepare for 2024 LPCA budgeting and
  5. Guide LPCA’s efforts to update our neighborhood plan. The plan’s overarching goal is to ensure that the physical, social and environmental development of Locust Point is consistent with the needs and responsibilities of those living and working in the community, and the city at large.
