Montgomery County, TN — Composting is getting its first real test in Montgomery County. Two new pilot programs are now underway, each designed to answer a simple question: is curbside-style compost collection practical, affordable, and something area residents actually want? The City of Clarksville started the effort in July, offering compost drop-off at the Clarksville Downtown Market every Saturday through October 3rd. Both programs share the same goal: keeping organic waste out of the landfill while making smart use of resources already in place. “The opportunity was offered to us at no cost, so the board agreed a pilot program made good sense,” said Bi-County Solid Waste Executive Director Mark Neblett.
