Chestertown Composting Services

The Town of Chestertown, in partnership with Washington College, will soon add composting — the natural process of recycling organic matter into fertilizer — to its services for residents. Jenny Lee Freebery, chair of the Chestertown Environmental Committee, announced the project during a March town council meeting. Between the Chestertown Armory and the Semans-Griswold Environmental Hall at Washington College, 485 S. Cross St., two 95-gallon bins will be placed, courtesy of Shore Soils, a composting company in Stevensville.
