Composting in Dedham just got easier! You can purchase an at-home compost bin, known as the Earth Machine Compost Bin, through the Town at a reduced cost as a Dedham resident. Currently there are two vendors who service Dedham by providing residential composting services: Bootstrap Compost and Black Earth Compost. The Town does not have a contract with any residential composting services and are not included with the purchase of a compost bin.
