The Town of Westford is partnering with Bootstrap Compost to offer a convenient Food Scrap Drop-Off Bin at Abbot Elementary School.
For $12.50 per month, subscribers receive unlimited access to the drop-off bin and can help divert food scraps from the waste stream while receiving finished compost back for their plants.
The first 80 subscribers will receive their first month FREE!
🥕 Add food scraps and compostable materials only—no plastic, glass, metal, diapers, or pet waste.
