Compost program

Drop off your compost on Saturdays during Market hours!

The Carrboro Farmers' Market partners with Orange County Solid Waste Management and the Town of Carrboro to offer a free food waste drop-off for local residents and Farmer’s Market attendees every Saturday Market Day year round! 

Participants can bring all food scraps (veggie scraps and all meat, bones and dairy too) and food related paper such as paper napkins and paper plates.  This is not your backyard compost—the collected organic waste are composted through a commercial composting company.
