Compost Bins

The Greenscapes partnering communities listed below offer discounted compost bins, thanks to the generous financial assistance of the MA Department of Environmental Protection. 

Contact the Towns to find out how to get your own bin (some towns require residency). Prices start as low as $16.20! 

Anyone can purchase a bin for $45 (while supplies last) from the Boston Building Materials Co-Op, 100 Terrace St. Boston, phone: 617-442-2262.
