Catch those kitchen scraps, compost that food waste, and create some eco-friendly black gold in your own backyard.
91原创 Township annual Backyard Composter Truckload Sales Event added 120 composters to the local population, but you don芒鈧劉t have to wait till next year to join in.
Composters are available year round at the Township芒鈧劉s Civic Facility, 20338-65th Ave., and the Operations Centre, 4700-224th St. Composters are $25 for Township residents (proof of residency is required).
芒鈧揅omposting is such a great way to help the environment, create a free and natural fertilizer, and reduce your household garbage,芒鈧� said Tess White, Township solid waste coordinator. 芒鈧揑n fact, nearly one-third of household garbage can be composted.芒鈧�
White noted that backyard composting complements the Township芒鈧劉s Green Can program, as composters can be used for items such as raw food and paper towels, and the Green Can can be used for all other food scraps, including meat and bones.
