Bootstrap Composting https://bootstrapcompost.com/
Bootstrap Compost is Greater Boston’s premier year-round residential and commercial food scrap pickup service. Partnering with local farms, Bootstrap diverts thousands of pounds of organic material from landfills every week. As a result, we are harnessing the potential of organic refuse to redefine and empower a local food community. Our farms benefit from our compost in the production of crops while each Bootstrap subscriber receives a portion of cured compost for their own gardening projects. Remaining compost is donated to local schools and community gardens. We consider it thoughtful, sustainable, and community-engineered composting.
Brought in bags of ground leaf clippings and leaves for composting.

to bottles of water being bubbled for algae:
Tested for nitrate and nitrite using API nitrate test kit ( 40 ppm recommended safe levels for aquariums).
But Urea nitrogen is CO( NH2)2, not nitrate. Nitrate/Phosphate is used for algae production( http://www.fao.org/docrep/003/w3732e/w3732e06.htm )-
