Curbside Composting coming to parts of Tiverton and Little Compton
Curbside Composting is coming to parts of Tiverton and Little Compton. Volunteers from the Tiverton Litter Committee and members of the Sogkonate Garden club have been working with Black Earth Composting to bring curbside pick up to parts of Tiverton and Little Compton. Compost collection diverts food waste from our landfills (saving money) and reduces methane (more potent greenhouse gas than CO2) emissions.
We encourage all those interested to pre-register (at no cost) for the weekly/bi-weekly service. A six month option is available for those who are only here seasonally. Register at:

Given the high heat of the commercial composting operation much more food is compostable through this service than is possible in most backyard/home garden composting. Those who preregister will be contacted by the company and provided the opportunity to purchase the service and to select the type of service they want.
The cost of the service will depend on location and frequency of service desired. Estimated weekly service cost: $89.99 for 6 months or $16.99 per month. Compost bins are free.
Even though Black Earth Compost has agreed to begin service to both Little Compton and Tiverton in the new year, the service area is limited given the rural nature of our communities and the business model of the company that depends on density.
The more people that pre-register the wider the service area will become and the lower the weekly cost.
All clients will receive a voucher in the fall for a free 40 pound bag of compost that can be redeemed at local nurseries.
Black Earth is working with both the Town of Tiverton and the Town of Little Compton to discuss options for establishing a transfer station at the local dump for those residents who prefer this option of food waste disposal.
Please help us spread the word! Share the registration link HERE with your friends and neighbors.

It all begins with an idea.
It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
Don’t worry about sounding professional. Sound like you. There are over 1.5 billion websites out there, but your story is what’s going to separate this one from the rest. If you read the words back and don’t hear your own voice in your head, that’s a good sign you still have more work to do.
Be clear, be confident and don’t overthink it. The beauty of your story is that it’s going to continue to evolve and your site can evolve with it. Your goal should be to make it feel right for right now. Later will take care of itself. It always does.
