Mr. Caggiano ,
We at Grow Nashua graciously accept your generous donation of a vehicle to use for the expansion of
our Curbside Compost pickup program. We began this program in May of 2018 with the intention of:
a) educating the Nashua community about the benefits of composting,
b) diverting food waste from the Four Hills Landfill
c) creating green jobs for our community
d) garnering support for our other community-based programs
The Curbside Compost program has seen great success and steady growth since the launch of its pilot
program, and we have since diverted over 30 tons of food waste and organic material from the
landfill. While growth of this program has exceeded our expectations, we are currently missing a key
component for our program to continue - a truck to transport materials.
With the City of Nashua’s support and generous donation, we will gain capacity to expand our services
to reach more residential and commercial clients, such as our local restaurant partners. This
expansion will dramatically increase our ability to divert food waste from the landfill and believe we
can increase our yearly average from 60,000 Ibs per year to over 200,000 Ibs per year.
We thank you from the bottom of our hearts, and we are confident that Grow Nashua will maximize
the use of this vehicle while making the Division of Public Works and the City of Nashua proud to be
our partners on this endeavor.
Sincerely,
“ f- olietom wx 4-1-0 2.
