Compost Bin Sale

The Northern Rhode Island Conservation District is pleased to announce that it is offering area residents the opportunity to purchase compost bins for the low price of $49.
Backyard composting is a controlled process of natural conversion of organic materials by micro organisms into compost. By composting, you can remove more than 500 lbs of organic matter from your household waste per year, diverting it from collection, the landfill or incinerator.
Composting is simply a combination of yard debris (like grass clippings and fallen leaves) and kitchen scraps (such as fruit and vegetable spoils), separated from the waste stream and placed into an environment suitable for decomposition. Through composting, you can experience the benefits of this rich soil additive giving you healthier and greener lawns and gardens, and a cleaner environment too!
Orders must be placed by April 14th and delivery has been scheduled for Saturday, April 24th at the Northern Rhode Island Conservation District Office, 17 Smith Ave, Greenville, RI from 9 am to 1 pm. For more information, contact the District office at (401)949-1480.
