Description

Press release from the Town of Wakefield: April 29, 2022 Last year, Wakefield's Department of Public Works (DPW) partnered with Black Earth Compost to offer residents a voluntary, curbside compost pickup program. Due to the popularity of the program, the DPW has purchased more starter kits! The next 50 residents who enroll in the program will receive a free starter kit, including a 13-gallon bin and a roll of bin liners. We have reached a volume discount rate of $69.99 for a six-month commitment. There are currently 375 residences signed up. Once we reach 500 participants, the price drops to $49.99 for 6 months. In addition to food waste, including egg shells, coffee grounds, and meat bones, the compost program accepts items like toothpicks, popsicle sticks, houseplants and flowers, paper towels, and cooking oil.
