Compost Bins

This is a really good deal for Boston residents.

So I found this on the City of Boston website, while looking for the holiday recycling schedule.
The City of Boston is offering a discount on Compost Bins and Kitchen Scrap Buckets.

Compost bin (a similar to above)
$45 (almost half the suggested retail price) 
You can fill a compost bin with 12 bags of leaves. Bin size is adjustable. Within a year, your yard waste composts into 200 lbs of highly nutritious dirt. 

Kitchen scrap bucket
$10 ($7, with purchase of a compost bin) 
Kitchen scrap bucket has a handle and lid and holds 7 liters. It's a clean and convenient way to collect food scraps for your compost bin. 




I am so excited for this, they also list specific dates to stop by community centers throughout Boston that will be offering the compost bins.
I'll in JP on May 12th picking up mine.
