Only a few spots left!  Compost your Food Waste

5/7/2019

Composting Starter kit
Stop throwing away all of your food waste.  Instead, EASILY turn it into bio gas and compost.  The Town Of Wellesley will actually do it for you!  There are only a few spots available left in the Town’s Food Waste Program.

Get your free starter kit (paid for by DEP grants) by clicking here. It includes a counter top bucket, compostable bag liners, and a container for transporting your food waste to the RDF. 

When you pick up your kit at the RDF, you will be provided with a brief tutorial on how to use the starter kit and what items to include or not include. This educational flyer includes frequently asked questions and a detail of acceptable and non-acceptable items.  During the pilot program you will drop your filled bags into a container located in the trash drop-off area.  From there, the food waste will go to a farm or an anaerobic digester to turn into compost or biogas.  If you would like to participate in the pilot complete this sign up form, and click the ‘Submit’ button.If you have additional questions, please call the RDF at 781 235 7600 x3345.
