LexSORT

(Lexington Shared Organics Recovered Together)

In 2021, LexZeroWaste partnered with the Town of Lexington to launch LexSORT, a community composting drop-off pilot initiative. The program provides a no-cost option to households wishing to divert their food waste from incineration and compost instead.

Thanks to the success of the initial 6-month pilot, the Town of Lexington is fully administering and stewarding the program. Lexington residents who register are able to drop off household food scraps and compostable kitchen waste at two sites in Lexington, with more sites planned for 2024.

Support for the initial six-month pilot program started by LexZeroWaste was provided by a grant from the Community Endowment of Lexington, an endowed fund of the Foundation for MetroWest.
