Greetings Closter Composters! 💚
We are excited to share with you that we have the Earth Machine backyard composter in stock for distribution. This convenient backyard composter is a great way to manage some of your food waste and garden clippings. The composter also comes with a “RotWheeler”: a quick and easy reference to help you get started with your backyard composter.

The cost for the composter is $69.95. Payment can be made at the following link: https://payments.municipay.com/632eeb771c36bb04b692017039c54199/search

Make sure to click “Environmental Commission” on the drop down box. Once payment is received we will reach out to you to coordinate a Closter pick up location.

Are you interested in composting food waste from your home but not sure if you are ready to take the leap into backyard composting? We are working on coordinating a pick up service and/or a drop off location for food scraps. Interested? Please fill out this quick survey and we will let you know when this service becomes available.
