Home Composting Program

The Home Composting Tumbler Program Is On Hold

While the City of Somerville encourages residents to reduce waste and create rich soil through composting, DPW does not currently have any compost bins or tumblers available for purchase, nor do they expect more stock in the near future. A wide selection of convenient, rodent-resistant composters can be found at local home improvement and hardware stores. Residents can also work directly with private composting companies to manage and dispose of their home compost. Yard waste is collected regularly per the yard waste calendar.
