To the Editor:

I have been enrolled in the Curbside Food Waste Program since it’s inception almost 18 months ago and am a huge proponent. The program is a great asset to the community and the swelling landfills. It has cut down my family’s trash production significantly to say the least. We cannot even fill our outside trash bin one time a month. This saves money and landfill space and is so easy. Since you can compost so many more things (soiled paper, pizza boxes, meats, bones) using this curbside collection than in your backyard, the program greatly expands your composting abilities. Of course you can also still make your own compost at home with extra fruit, vegetable, and plant scraps if you like!

It is very easy for me to envision the whole town — residents, schools, and businesses, all participating in this program. I urge the leaders of this town to continue being role models in the state by having curbside food waste collection in the trash contract for the consolidated Princeton!
