Get a deal on food waste pickup while also helping Quincy Public Schools!!
Both high schools compost their food waste—diverting tons of food from the landfill and creating soil instead!
Use code QUINCYSCHOOLS to receive 10% off + a free compost bin and liners. And QPS will get $10 in credit!

FYI: Worried about critters? These bins are pest proof! And since all your food waste is locked away, your regular trash bins will get left alone!

Another great Cleaner Greener Quincy! We spent the morning cleaning up trash and pulling invasive species like garlic mustard (and styrofoam packing peanuts!) along Black’s Creek.
Thank you to Ward 5 City Councilor Maggie McKee for stopping by to help!
And thank you to for organizing and also allowing QCAN to have a table at the post-cleanup BBQ!
