Compost for a Healthier Newburyport

As municipalities are facing rapidly rising and uncontrolled costs for disposal, collection and hauling of waste and landfills are full and closing, and incinerators are near 100% capacity, pro-active action is needed.

An educational campaign, designed to increase awareness of the benefits of composting and promoting the importance of becoming a composter, it will share insights on:

• The degree of on-going composting in Newburyport
• The financial benefits of composting
• The environmental benefits of composting
• The various ways in which residents and organizations can compost
• The practicalities and logistics of composting, including dispelling any myths
• The City’s commitment to overall waste reduction

If you would like to be a part of this team effort to increase composting, please send a note expressing your interest to acesnewburyport@gmail.com with COMPOST TEAM in the subject line.
