Marlborough Asks Residents To Not Waste Food

Press release from the City of Marlborough:

June 15, 2020

Do you care about the environment? In Massachusetts, food waste is the single largest component of landfill waste, accounting for an average of 17% of the municipal solid waste stream after recycling. If you want to do your part, sign up at blackearthcompost.com. The current fee only amounts to $3.81/week, and this fee is reduced as more residents join. There are also compost bins at the Resident Drop-Off Facility where you can deposit your food waste if you have a no fee recycling sticker. Please contact the DPW at 508-624-6910 for more information.
