There are more ways than ever to reduce, reuse and recycle in Chapel Hill, with the most recent opportunity to keep waste out of the landfills coming in the form of a new composting location.
The Chapel Hill Farmers’ Market has begun accepting residential food waste at its University Place location. This new drop-off program will divert organic waste from the landfill to create compost and reduce potent greenhouse gas emissions like methane.
Compostable materials can be dropped off during Saturday market hours from 8 a.m. until noon.
Chapel Hill Mayor Pam Hemminger said giving residents a viable way to go green is important to the town’s mission.
