WE'RE TALKING TRASH - literally. Take a behind-the-scenes tour of Black Earth's Compost facility and see waste turn into wonder! On this tour, you'll get a sneak peek of one of their facilities, where you can learn about waste management and reduction, compost, and more. Stop by and meet fellow community members who are interested in food repurposing, and learn about a locally-founded compost organization right in your area!
Black Earth Compost was founded in Gloucester, MA in 2011, and has expanded their services to Rhode Island and New Hampshire. Black Earth Compost collects food scraps and turns them into compost right on site! On this tour, you will get a sneak peek of one of their facilities, where you can learn about waste management and reduction, compost, and more!
There’s even a prize at the end! Attend the tour and you’ll be entered into a raffle to win either a 3-month free trial of compost pickup or a $50 gift certificate for Black Earth Compost’s CHaRM program (Collection of Hard to Recycle Materials). We look forward to getting the community together!
