FALMOUTH — New community composting bins are now available at Community Park off Winn Road.
A joint project of the Public Works Department and the Sustainability Office, accepted items include meats, bones, dairy, eggs, fruits, vegetable scraps, coffee filters and grounds, and paper towels. No plastics of any kind are allowed, unless it’s a special biodegradable bag.
Up to 35% of all household trash is compostable, according to town staff. We Compost It! will collect the food scraps and convert them into compost. Falmouth residents can also bring food waste to the transfer station facility off Woods Road. Call 781-3919 for more information.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
