Composter & compost - TAKEN (or at least first claimant for each found)

Feel free to respond in case either flakes, but I do have takers for both the bin & contents already.

*** ORIGINAL POST ***

Construction has stirred up rats in our neighborhood, and the landlord wants us to get rid of the compost bin & compost. (Yes, I know, but he doesn't listen, and it's not my property and not my decision). Nobody here has a car, much less a truck. Anybody want the compost? You're welcome to the Earth Machine too if you want it, but the bolts that secured it to the ground were gone when I moved in and it's just sitting on the ground loose.

Curious, if a person does want to compost but does not but want to be a composter themselves, is there a place in the community open to such....donations?

If I'm not mistaken, there's a group that collects compost at the Armory on farmers' market days.

I go to the market almost every week, and have not seen any compost collection this winter.

Maybe Somerville will someday have a compost pickup: http://www.boston.com/yourtown/news/somerville/2014/02/somerville_eyes_composting_to_cut_down_on_food_waste.html?camp=localsearch:on:twit:HLsomerville&dlvrit=155349
