Composting

Erving residents can purchase an Earth Machine backyard compost bin at a subsidized price of $25. The subsidized compost bin can be purchased at the Franklin County Solid Waste District. Visit www.franklincountywastedistrict.org/composting for information on backyard composting and the District’s office location. The town encourages all residents to remove organic material from the trash and use a backyard compost bin. Approximately 25% of household trash is organic material that can be diverted to a compost bin.
