GCC Unveils Strategic Plan

In July 2024, the Board Members embarked on developing the first strategic plan for the organization to set the framework to guide them through the next three years and chart a path to achieve GCC’s vision of engaging Georgians with access to high-quality compost and healthy soils supported by a thriving compost industry. The facilitator, Stephanie Busch, guided the participants through the strategic planning process, ensuring the committee worked together to achieve the goals and reach consensus.  Click image to read our FY24-26 Strategic Plan.

About Us

Georgia has a thriving composting community comprised of organizations, businesses, individuals, and government officials who are engaged in and supportive of the development of this industry in Georgia. As the newest state chapter of the US Composting Council, the Georgia Composting Council (GCC) promotes the composting industry and the reduction, reuse and recycling of the organic component of Georgia’s waste stream through support of infrastructure development, quality control, training, legislative and regulatory advocacy, and public education.

Our mission is to elevate waste reduction and improve soil health via composting organic materials at the backyard, community and large-scale manufacturing levels in Georgia; assuring compost education and access to composting options for all Georgians.

GCC provides the necessary organization and leadership to coalesce the energy and interest into focused action and progress.  Members will have the opportunity to influence the direction of the council along with opportunities to network, learn and access resources.
