Curbside Pick-up

The Chelmsford DPW is pleased to announce a new curbside organics program for food scraps. The curbside service from Black Earth Compost includes weekly or every other week pickup. A 6-month subscription is $14.99/month for every other week pickup.

DPW will provide the compost starter kit, which includes a 13-gallon bin or 4-gallon (apartment option) bin and set of compostable liners that will be delivered by Black Earth. Interested residents can sign up directly through Black Earth at https://blackearthcompost.com/residential-curbside-compost-pickup

Residents that participate in the curbside program are also provided with a voucher for one 40-lb. bag of compost redeemable at places nearby.

When more than 300 Chelmsford households register, the subscription price will be lowered for all participants.

These local companies also offer curbside collection service for your food scraps:

• Bootstrap Compost
