There are only 5 FREE 13-gallon Black Earth Composting composting kits left! These kits are funded from the last state grant awarded to our DPW aimed at encouraging more residential composting in Lynnfield. These kits are free to residents that sign up for curbside Black Earth Composting. 

Stop in to the DPW office during business hours and claim yours while these last. And, those who sign on with Black Earth will be entered into a drawing for a free tree that DPW Director John Tomasz will have planted in their front yard! “Right now, we are trying hard to incentivize residents to begin composting”, says Tomasz.  “Taking organic matter out of the trash stream is not just environmentally beneficial but provides the Town significant trash disposal cost savings.”

Black Earth CEO Conor Miller fully supports this incentive program. Once the number of participating residents reaches 200, he will drop the monthly collection cost for all Lynnfield participants. He will reduce it again at 400 participants.
