Compost that Stuff!

With the New Year Central Square Florist has begun to compost 100's of pounds of flower waste every week.  Coupled with are existing recycling of congruent cardboard material we have eliminated the two largest components of our store waste. We understand that composting helps preserve landfill space and reduce climate change by avoiding methane emissions from organic decay in landfills. The earth friendly processes of composting materials are turned into nutrient rich soil that helps grow fresh food. The material is picked up by Save that Stuff and more information on recycling is available from the City of Cambridge Public works.

# re: Compost that Stuff!

That's great!  We have been composting our flower waste for years!  We do it ourselves in a corner of a field behind our shop.  We are in the country and also have greenhouses and a garden center.  Compost sells well also.  Crighton's Florist & Greenhouses
