Compost points in Óbuda

Compost points are an excellent opportunity to dispose household vegetable waste.
Vegetables, fruit, houseplants, and coffee grounds can be placed in the compost bins that are currently being filled – green waste is accepted only after chopped into small pieces.
Animal origin and chemically treated items, as well as slowly decomposing plant parts (e.g. evergreens) are forbidden. Please note that this is a community enterprise, so stronger restrictions apply than in a family compost site.

Compost point near Vitorla utca – since 2022.03.18.

Vitorla is a very busy composting point; we process an extra-large volume of green waste. Once a week, we chop, turn, and sort the compost, as well as tidy up the area around the bins. In addition, we maintain constant contact with the community, provide updates on current tasks, educate the public, and organize events.

Compost point near the fountain – since 2023.06.12.

The compost point was discovered relatively late due to its hidden location, but now 20-30 people bring their kitchen waste there daily. The two compost managers organize the compost twice a week. The main tasks include chopping, crushing eggshells, removing notes, and collecting rubber and plastic pieces. The avocado peel and pit often pose a challenge: the peel only decomposes if it has some fruit flesh on it, and the pit only decomposes if chopped.
