Over 100 people joined us as we celebrated the opening of the North Shore Regional Compost Facility. Thank you to our customers, donors, the USDA, Town of Manchester, Seaside Sustainability and our awesome Staff for making this facility possible.

With the help of our customers we've diverted 16,000 tons of food scraps from the trash in 2023 and grown to a fleet of 35 trucks, the largest organics hauler in New England. Looking forward to working with you to compost more food scraps in 2024.

New Service Towns! We will begin food scrap collection late November in Hull, Cohasset and Southborough. Enroll ahead of time through our website sign up form. Please help us spread the word. We need a minimum number per town to start on time.

The @NahantTown is offering FULL REIMBURSEMENT for a year of compost collection for new subscribers. Thank you Nahant and Safer Waters in Massachusetts (Nahant SWIM) for making curbside composting accessible to everyone. #nahantma

Structures are taking shape at the new Northshore Regional Compost Facility in Manchester MA. Tressels are in and the fabric walls and roof are going up. This building will contain the initial stages of composting.

@LibertyLooks Looks Great! Unfortunately, we have given out all the holographic stickers. Please keep up the good work and print another fruit sticker sheet.

These are the games I engage in. Genius marketing, I must say on behalf of @BlackEarthMA As an incentive to get customers to pay attention to removing the stickers from the fruit/veggie scraps…. Fill the paper sticker bin and get a cool bumper sticker in return. #winwin

Registration is open for our no-cost curbside compost pilot! This pilot program is open to 2,000 households in #LexingtonMA and is currently funded through June 30, 2024. Learn more and sign up: lexingtonma.gov/CivicAlerts.as…

Happy Spring! We are busy ramping up to get your composted food scraps ready to be returned to the soil to grow new healthy plants. Vouchers for a free bag of compost will be available in customer accounts in early April. Can you guess what's sprouting now?

@Dr_Keefer In our business, the heat is the entropy

Chat GPT is pretty effing amazing. Here’s how it quickly summarizes entropy.

This is always an awesome event. Really fun to watch other towns start participating too. We started this in Salem maybe 5 years ago, and now have over a dozen towns doing something similar, but Newton's is exceptional. bcheights.com/2022/11/06/new…

@typicBRET @TheSand52828806 @casperj33081634 Correct. But to be more accurate, maybe they should use full life-cycle emissions as a fair comparison. MPG is nice to know how much gas you can expect to burn, not total emissions.

@BlackEarthMA @TheSand52828806 @casperj33081634 When they say an SUV gets 29 MPG they are talking about the vehicles fuel efficiency not the whole production…

This is a CAT994A. It Burns ~1000 liters of fuel in 12 hours. Moving ~250 tons of dirt to extract materials to produce ONE Tesla battery. And people still call it “zero emissions” when they drive their eletrical car 🤷‍♂️
