Education

Earthworm Promotes Recycling and Conservation

Earthworm has promoted recycling and conservation throughout greater Boston since 1970 and is a clearinghouse for recycling information.  Our educational programs are funded in part by the proceeds from our commercial recycling service. Your waste paper supports our educational efforts.

School Recycling Programs

Earthworm supports school recycling programs and has given hundreds of classroom presentations to students on topics such as recycling, solid waste management, composting, worm composting and papermaking.  We have also helped Boston-area schools to establish sound recycling programs by providing technical assistance.  Call us at 617-628-1844 or e-mail info@earthwormrecycling.org to learn more about what we can do for your school.

Recycling Hotline and Waste Referral Service

Earthworm operates the area's longest-running free recycling telephone hotline.  Call us at 617-628-1844 or e-mail info@earthwormrecycling.org and we’ll give you up-to-date information on recycling programs, markets and the latest recycling trends and techniques.  We’ll also help you find outlets for your scrap materials.

Specialty Library on Recycling and Solid Waste

Earthworm maintains one of Boston’s best free libraries on recycling.  Come learn more about recycling!  We’re open Monday through Friday, 9am-5pm.
