Compost Drop-Off at the Ashland Tuesday Market

HOST: ASHLAND TUESDAY MARKET

Swing by ScienceWorks every Tuesday between 8:30 am and 12:30 pm and bring your food scraps to fill our bins. We bring 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!

ACCEPTED ITEMS – All non-meat/non-seafood scraps and leftovers – All fruit and vegetable peelings, pits, and shells – Pumpkins – Rice, pasta, bread, cereal, and oats – Egg and nut shells – Dairy products – Coffee grounds and filters, teabags

NOT ACCEPTED – Meat of any kind — beef, pork, chicken, or seafood – Yard debris — leaves, flowers, wreaths, weeds, plants, or soil – Paper products – Coal or Charcoal – Prescription drugs and medications – "Compostable" plates, cutlery, and bags – Coconut shells
