I'm working on a new restaurant right now (CI), and I'm wondering if anyone knows of existing composting agreements for LEED ID credits. There is a community garden right next to the restaurant, and I'd like to pursue a long-term agreement for composting some of our food waste. We may also work out a method to give them our left over harvested rain or gray water. Everyone would benefit, so I'm hoping we can get credit for it! Thanks very much.

I would say you have a good shot at getting credit for composting. I would recommend reviewing the LEED-EBOM waste management credits. While composting isn't a focus of any of these, the way those credits are structured, and their documentation requirements, will give you a sense of how to structure and document this credit in a way that's likely to be accepted.
