In September of 2024, Brookline’s Department of Public Works launched 4 food waste drop-off bins across Town. The rodent-proof bins provide Brookline residents the opportunity to compost complimentarily, around the clock. All food waste collected is then converted into nutrient-rich compost, which reduced air pollution and creates healthy soil.

The program currently boasts more than 1,350 participants, and has diverted around 110 tons of food waste in the past year. Due to its success and popularity, the DPW plans to install 2 additional drop-off locations this fall (and possibly a 3rd location in spring 2026 subject to grant funding). In order to ensure the bins are in convenient locations, the DPW has developed a short survey in which residents can vote for their preferred sites.

The survey can be found online at www.brooklinema.gov/FoodWasteDropOff and will be available until October 10^th, 2025.

We hold annual concerts as a chance for our students to show their progress, and connect with their mentors in person.

The change from summer freedoms to the rigors of the classroom can be a tricky transition for students of all ages -- and their parents! The B-PEN (Brookline Parent Education Network) website offers a “Transitions” page with a variety of tip sheets and resources to help families get off to a good start. And Prevention Action Alliance offers a terrific tip sheet on managing back to school anxiety.
