Second Chance Composting Guide for Transfer Station. Open Transfer Station hours; see calendar for holiday hours.
Info from Second Chance Composting: "Welcome to the composting program at the Cummington Transfer Station. It's simple, uncomplicated, and easy to do your part for our community, planet, and future!Food scraps don’t belong in the trash—they waste resources and create pollution.
How it works: Save your food scraps at home in a food safe container, and bring them to the transfer station during open hours. Drop your household scraps into the tote. Close the tote. It’s that simple. Second Chance Composting handles the rest, processing the material into nutrient-rich compost at our Savoy facility. This compost is then distributed locally to grow healthy plants, food, and flowers, keeping the beautiful, natural cycle going. We accept any and all food and food scraps (including meat, fish, dairy, bones) in our totes, but nothing else. Please do not include compostable bags or ware, and ensure you remove stickers, twist ties, rubber bands, and any other non-food contamination.
Composting at Home - EPA guidelines
