Brunswick advocates: Composting can help both the planet and your wallet

TIMES RECORD • July 14, 2022

A Brunswick campaign to promote food waste recycling could help residents save both dollars and the environment, according to members of the town’s Recycling & Sustainability Committee. Since the Maine Department of Environmental Protection awarded Brunswick a $19,000 waste diversion grant last year to help fund the town’s Food Waste Reduction and Recycling Initiative, the number of Brunswick households participating in composting efforts has climbed significantly, according to Recycling & Sustainability Committee Chair Jamie Ecker.
