BALTIMORE — Baltimore is getting greener. The first zero waste facility was unveiled in Charm City on Thursday.

It houses the nation's largest indoor 24-hour composter.

The non-profit 4MCity’s hunger facility can convert 6,000 pounds of food waste into usable soil in only one day.

"But more so for the belief that I see these people have and what 4MyCity is doing," says Christopher Dipnarine, Executive Director of 4MyCity Inc.

"It's humbling and also exciting at the same token, because the future is going to be very bright for us."

This project has been in development for two years.

This composter is the first of its kind and serves a key part of their mission to combat food insecurity.
