Composting is one way in which you can help reduce the amount of household garbage that needs to be collected each week. Food scraps and organic materials can be added to compost heaps or piles and will rapidly biodegrade into a rich soil or compost that can be used in your garden. Leaves, grass clippings and other garden debris can also be treated in this way.
At this time, the Township does not collect organic material or yard waste as part of its curbside collection program. Residents are encouraged to set up and manage composting at home.
Earth Machine and Green Cone Composters are available for sale at the Township office.

The Earth Machine is a durable backyard compost bin designed to compost food and yard waste, diverting it from landfills. When residents are encouraged to divert organics from the waste stream and are educated about the benefits of composting, up to 50% of organic waste can be diverted from the waste stream.

Green Cone Composters are also avilable for purchase for $140 from the Township Office, tax included. The Green Cone allows residents to compost more food waste and further reduce the amount of household organics being disposed of in landfills. Described as a “food waste digester,” the Green Cone allows for the diversion of meat, fish, bones, dairy products, coffee grounds, tea bags, raw or cooked food, and small amounts of pet waste.
