Did you know?

The US discards approximately 106 million tons of food annually?

Rather than clogging up our landfills, food scraps can be composted into valuable soil nutrients.  You can bring food scraps to the Chatham Transfer Station for composting.

“There is no power for change greater than a community discovering what it cares about.”
