Do you want a Compost Bin?
Free Compost Buckets Offered by Wayne Solid Waste & Recycling Committee: We are partnering with the Wayne Solid Waste and Recycling Committee to help spread the word about composting. Did you know the average citizen produces 150-200 lbs. of food waste each year? View the very informative 38 minute educational video featuring Mark King of the Maine DEP and learn about simple steps you can take to reduce food waste. Thanks to the team’s grant, we’ll have a supply of tabletop/under counter compost buckets to distribute for your own composting or to take to the Transfer Station.
