Composting 101

Do you know where your food waste goes? Join us for a presentation about the different solutions for keeping food waste out of the trash!

The City of Boston's Zero Waste Team is partnering with Alex Pogany of Save That Stuff Inc. for a one-hour workshop about the benefits of removing food waste from your trash can. 

During this hour-long workshop participants will learn:

  • How food waste can be turned into nutrient-rich soil (compost)
  • What an Anaerobic Digestor is and how it works 
  • The benefits of composting
    • Decreasing Greenhouse Gas Emissions
    • Building climate resilience 
    • Sequestering carbon
    • Enriching soil

It may not seem like much, but food waste is a BIG DEAL! Every year, the emissions caused by food waste in the U.S. are larger than emissions from ALL U.S. domestic flights plus all international flights by U.S. airlines. If you can't wait for January 23, check out the Environmental Protection Agency's webpage on food waste.

In the meantime, signup for Boston's curbside food waste collection at bostoncomposts.com or visit boston.gov/project-oscar to find the food waste drop-off bin closest to you. If you live in Hyde Park, the closest bin is at 1234 Hyde Park Ave.

The City of Boston hosts Fix-It Clinics at several branch locations of the Boston Public Library. A Fix-It Clinic is a free event where Boston residents can bring their broken household items for repair. Our volunteers are patient and knowledgeable, so in addition to saving old objects from the trash you might even learn some new handy skills (or if you prefer to sit back and watch the masters work, that's OK too)!

Acceptable items include:

  • clothing and fabric
  • computers and phones
  • toys and wooden items
  • kitchen equipment
  • small electrical devices
  • jewelry, and
  • much more!

To volunteer as a fixer, sign up here
