\"\"<\/a>Bootstrap Compost <\/b>is Greater Boston\u2019s premier year-round residential and commercial food scrap pickup service. Partnering with local farms, Bootstrap diverts thousands of pounds of organic material from landfills every week. As a result, we are harnessing the potential of organic refuse to redefine and empower a local food community. Our farms benefit from our compost in the production of crops while each Bootstrap subscriber receives a portion of cured compost for their own gardening projects. Remaining compost is donated to local schools and community gardens. We consider it thoughtful, sustainable, and community-engineered composting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Education<\/b><\/p>\n

Bootstrap donates a portion of its compost to school and community gardening projects. We strive to raise awareness about food waste, composting, food systems and, ultimately, nutrition, through workshops, tours and presentations.<\/span><\/p>\n

Impact<\/b><\/p>\n

Through composting, we are keeping food waste out of landfills. By doing so, we are offsetting harmful GHGs, creating soil amendment for farms, gardens, schools and households throughout Greater Boston.<\/span><\/p>\n
