Egleston Farmers Market Now Offers Free Composting

Customers can bring their scraps to the market for composting this season.

The Egelston Farmers Market is offering composting free of charge or coupled with a donation, market organizers announced Friday

Last year, the market joined a city composting effort that later dissolved. Now, the market is able to offer composting through Boostrap Compost, a Jamaica Plain-based year-round kitchen scrap pickup service. 

Customers will be able to bring kitchen scraps and other compostable items to the market throughout the season, organizers said.
