Rain Barrel and Compost Bin sale

Saturday – october 29, 2016 – starting at 9 am

All items $20 each. Cash only. While supplies last. No pre or post event sales. Limited supply.

To encourage the use of recycled content material and more efficient use of water, the City is offering recycled plastic rain barrels at a huge discount. In addition, start backyard composting with a compost bin to save resources and money. Composting is a natural process that turns yard waste into rich soil. Yard waste contains mostly water. Once the material decomposes, rich soil is all that’s left.
