The City of Frederick is proud to announce the launch of its residential compost pilot project beginning August 21. This program seeks to reduce waste in the city, encourage environmental stewardship, and create new opportunities for composting.
The pilot project is open to any household receiving City trash collection.
The City will pay for the services during the program, so all residents are invited to take part. Those who do not have their trash collected by the City can still take advantage of compost collection services from Key City Compost for a monthly fee.
Composting is an important part of any sustainable city. It reduces the amount of trash entering the municipal landfill, creates nutrient-rich soil without chemical fertilizers, and helps reduce the city’s carbon footprint.
“By diverting hundreds of thousands of pounds of organic waste from landfills, we not only reduce our environmental footprint, but we also pave the way for a greener future.” says Mayor Michael O’Connor.
The City of Frederick is committed to creating sustainable cities and communities. This pilot project is the latest in a series of efforts to reduce the city’s environmental impact and foster a healthier, greener future.
