Boston expands food-waste composting to 27,000 households as part of growing waste-reduction effort
Reported byThe Christian Science Monitor ↗·Sourced by Goodlede
Boston's Curbside Food Waste Collection program, which began in 2022, now serves approximately 27,000 residents weekly as part of the city's broader composting strategy to address the 30-40% of the nation's food supply that is discarded annually.
Boston currently ranks fourth in the nation for municipal composting; challenges remain in habit formation, pest management, and access equity.
