Second Chance Composting Comes to Pittsfield03:05PM / Tuesday, February 27, 2024 | |
PITTSFIELD, Mass. — Second Chance Composting has recently brought their Residential Community Composting Program to Pittsfield.
Memberships are open and ongoing for the 9 South Atlantic Avenue drop off location. The program runs continuously all year, through all 4 seasons.
Memberships start at $9.99 per month, offering unlimited drop off of household food scraps to the location each month. Members save their food scraps at home, and at their convenience, bring them to 9 South Atlantic Avenue and drop their material into the tote. Members can come as little or as often as needed each month. Any and all food and food scraps are accepted, including meat, fish, dairy, bones, and shells. There are also other membership pricing options available for those who wish to receive finished compost back.
In addition to the new Pittsfield location, Second Chance Composting currently has drop off locations in North Adams, Williamstown, and Adams, which have continuous and ongoing membership signups.
Second Chance Composting picks up the material every week and it is brought to their MassDEP certified facility in Cheshire to process the food scraps into compost, which is then distributed back to the community to grow more food, flowers, plants, and trees.
