The Breakdown Compost Cooperative is a legally recognized Co-op. We are designated as an LCA. A Limited Cooperative Association. Many people aren’t familiar with co-op structures but at Breakdown Compost we are all about education. Our Co-op is considered a “solidarity” co-op. For us, that means we have two different classes of co-op members. Workers, and consumers. In a broader sense this is an example of seizing the means of production. In a smaller sense it means that the community has more input and consideration in the services we provide. Besides transparency that offers insight into.
