Black Earth Compost is a Massachusetts company offering residential curbside pickup, as well as commercial and school pickup, to have your compostable waste diverted from landfills and brought to a local farm where it naturally breaks down into reusable, rich, black compost. Dedicated to sustainable practices and environmental security, Black Earth takes pride in providing the cleanest, friendliest, most reliable and affordable compost service in New England. They provide the LFM with a compost bin and weekly pickup to support and further our commitment to sustainability.
