Brunswick, Bath look to expand composting services Share Lisbon rolled out a new compost drop-off station at the town transfer station last month that town officials say has been very popular with residents. Contributed photo Bath and Brunswick are looking to expand their composting programs, in part to offset fees incurred by processing waste. “The point is to try to spread the concept of composting out into the community,” said Bath Public Works Director Lee Leiner. “It’s never too early to try to start to change the culture a little bit toward waste.” Instead of putting organics in a landfill or incinerator, composting allows food waste to naturally decompose essentially back into soil. If organics are separated, food waste is also not factored into tipping costs, which, in Brunswick is more than $80 per ton.
