Low Cost Compost Bins for Westford Residents

In 1993 Massachusetts banned yard waste from the trash in an effort to reduce garbage, save money, utilize valuable organic waste, and provide nutrient rich compost for home lawns and gardens. Using compost on the soil adds essential nutrients, improves root growth, and helps retain moisture, which will help cut down on your water bills. By placing kitchen scraps,grass clippings, and leaves in your compost bin instead of in the trash, you will end up with rich conditioner for your soil that will result in healthier vegetables, flowers, or grass.

Composting benefits the environment by reducing the need for pesticides It also reduces Westford's trash collection costs.
