Composting Bin on West Broadway

Have you seen the colorful bin at 450 W. Broadway in Southie? This bin offers residents a place to drop off food scraps for composting. The city of Boston’s Project Oscar Community Composting has nine locations throughout the city. Make sure to check out the list of items accepted and not accepted here!  Food waste has the potential to create a rich, black soil that helps plants grow. Composting food waste reduces the amount of waste sent to landfills. It also helps the environment by enriching soil, giving new plants nutrients to grow. You can also compost on your own by ordering one of those little green bins from the City of Boston!  You can learn more here!
