Welcome to the CERO Cooperative blog! Every day, we choose to celebrate the earth and its people through action and education to support our environment, and the environment of tomorrow. CERO is a cooperative composter, and one thing that makes us special is that we incorporate environmental education into our services by offering free composting trainings to our partner businesses. As CERO continues to grow, we would like our readers to understand our roots, and the core principles that guide us.
CERO started as a collaboration between Boston’s Black and Latino members of Mass Coalition for Occupational Safety & Health (MassCOSH) and The Boston Worker’s Alliance (BWA) to form a green business that takes into account the needs of our diverse communities, while providing a level of service that is unmatched in the composting and waste hauling space. CERO worker-owners organized around cooperatives, worker’s rights, and spread knowledge about composting in Roxbury and Dorchester as a cost-saving and sustainable alternative to the status quo.
