Gorilla Composting is a student group at McGill University which operates at the downtown campus in Montréal, Québec, Canada. It was founded in 2005 by Daniel Spitzberg (B.Sc. '06) and Kealan Gell (B.Eng. '06).
Gorilla promotes organic waste composting at both the institutional and individual levels. Gorilla purchased a Big Hanna T240 industrial bioreactor (composter), which was installed on May 29, 2010. It processes organic waste generated at cafeterias across McGill University. The project was spearheaded by former coordinator David Gray-Donald (B.A. & Sc. '10).
Note: there is no longer a public drop-off site at McGill! In the past, Gorilla operated an organic waste drop-off at McGill University. It allowed students and staff who did not have the means to compost to do so. The organic waste was transported to a farm on Île-Perrot. There are several reasons why the Gorilla team decided to close the drop-off and move towards vermicomposting.
