Brunswick, Bath look to expand composting services

Brunswick, Bath look to expand composting services Share Lisbon rolled out a new compost drop-off station at the town transfer station last month that town officials say has been very popular with residents. Contributed photo Bath and Brunswick are looking to expand their composting programs, in part to offset fees incurred by processing waste. “The point is to try to spread the concept of composting out into the community,” said Bath Public Works Director Lee Leiner. “It’s never too early to try to start to change the culture a little bit toward waste.” Instead of putting organics in a landfill or incinerator, composting allows food waste to naturally decompose essentially back into soil. If organics are separated, food waste is also not factored into tipping costs, which, in Brunswick is more than $80 per ton.

Coastal News Today | US - EPA (United States Environmental Protection Agency) Announces $1 1+ Million in BEACH Act Grants to New England States

The announcement came on Scarborough State Beach in Narragansett, Rhode Island, where U.S. Senator Jack Reed, and senior Rhode Island officials joined EPA Acting Regional Administrator Deb Szaro to emphasize the importance of federal funding to assist EPA’s partners with local monitoring of bacteria levels, which can become too high for safe swimming, and efforts to notify the public of potential health risks. “Here in New England we are fortunate to have strong partnerships between federal, state and local officials, who are all committed to effective collaboration to ensure we are protecting public health and the environment,” said EPA New England Acting Regional Administrator Deb Szaro. “New England’s beach season is short and sweet, and especially after a year of social distancing due to the pandemic, we are very proud that this funding will help public health officials to quickly share water quality information with the public.”
