Compost With Us
Compost Montclair
Montclair Community Farms is proud to launch Compost Montclair, a new community composting program in partnership with the Township of Montclair's Department of Sustainability, funded by a USDA Composting grant.
Our goal is to equitably and sustainably divert food waste from the waste stream while building a healthier, more resilient community. By closing the loop and turning food scraps into nutrient-rich compost, we reduce landfill waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, return valuable organic matter to the soil on our farms, and continue feeding our community.
Membership Benefits
Your Compost Montclair membership includes:
One 3.5-gallon compost collection bucket with a secure lid.
Up to four drop-offs per month (one drop-off each week).
An access code to enter the compost drop-off site.
A clean, sanitized bucket at each visit through our bucket exchange program.
