Bootstrap Compost recently relocated from Jamaica Plain to Charlestown.
This time of year, many people are focused on what to put on their tables—with dinner parties, family meals and other holiday gatherings. But a company that recently moved to Charlestown is helping people to think about what comes off the table, where it goes and what it could be doing for them. Founded in January 2011, Bootstrap Compost provides a service to residents and small businesses in Jamaica Plain, Cambridge, Charlestown and around the city. Individuals’ food scraps are collected, turned into compost and returned to them in the form of nutrient-rich topsoil for rooftop or backyard gardens, house plants and other uses. The business began as a one-man show, with founder Andy Brooks collecting compostable materials with a handcart in…

National Development is negotiating a lease with the prospective tenant.
Charlestown could be getting a new option for childcare with the renovation of the former Bunker Hill pavilion. Jerome A. Kyllingstad, vice president of National Development, presented an early look at the project at the Nov. 8 Charlestown Neighborhood Association meeting. National Development, which is behind other renovations in the Constitution Center area, is currently negotiating a lease for about 9,600 square feet in the former pavilion—identified as "building 3"—for a yet-to-be-named childcare company, Kyllingstad said. The project would involve a reuse of the existing building and would be “very low impact,” Kyllingstad said.
