YIMBY is short for ‘yes in my backyard’. It’s a community-run, backyard composting scheme that was founded in 2020 in Castlemaine, Victoria. To organisers' knowledge, there’s no other program like it in Australia. Co-founder Lucy Young says YIMBY is a way of “sharing high-level composting skills with lots of keen composters, and supporting them to run micro-processing hubs at home." Joel Meadows, the other co-founder, explains the approach as super small scale and super local, with “low carbon input and low carbon output." Hear about the potential of schemes like this to help build resilient communities.
