FREE Compost Drop-Off at the Ashland Tuesday Market

Swing by ScienceWorks every Tuesday between 8:30 am and 12:30 pm and bring your food scraps to fill Ashland Climate Collaborative's 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!
