can we contribute scraps to your compost?

[la-vie-en-rosie.livejournal.com]

Anyone living close to the intersection of Orchard & Beech Streets interested in accepting compost contributions from our kitchen? 

We aren't in a position to have our own compost bin, but we'd be glad to have our organic waste go to a neighbor's, as long as it's close enough for us to drop off conveniently.

We had this arrangement with a neighbor in our old place, and it worked out great-- more compost for them, less trash for us! 

If you're interested, contact me at <vardit (dot) samuels (at) gmail (dot) com>. 

(We're considering the Bootstrap Compost option, but we'd rather keep it free and super-local, if possible)

I'm in the same position as you. If you find someone willing to accept scraps, I'd also like to contribute. I'm at Orchard and Day. Up through last month, I was bringing my scraps to the Armory Farmer's Market, but that's finished for the season.

The Growing Center has piles. You can talk to them about adding to 'em.

Not free, but super-local: Metro PedalPower has a program with Groundworks Somerville similar to Bootstrap Compost: SoilCycle (http://metropedalpower.com/soilcycle)

Too bad compost is not being collected at the Davis Farmer's Market the way there was at the WInter Market at the Armory.

The Union Sq market folks are trying to get a vendor to collect compost. Meanwhile... any Whole Foods (at least, that has the little restaurant area) has compost bins with their recycling. I tried it with the Alewife store, they didn't seem to mind me dropping off the month's worth of veggie scraps I'd been storing in my freezer waiting for Union/Winter to sort it out.

Thanks! I did not know this.
