Compost Drop Off at the Ashland Tuesday Grower’s Market

Swing by ScienceWorks every Tuesday between 8:30 am and 1:30 pm and bring your food scraps to fill our bins.

We haul this “black gold” to local farms where it’s used to enrich the soil. 👩‍🌾🐮🍐

And it’s good for the climate! When food waste is dumped in landfills and sealed off from oxygen, methane, aka “natural gas” is created. Let’s do our part to keep food scraps out of the garbage!
