There's a sale on compost bins ~ $25 EACH ~ at the Rhode Island Resource Recovery Corporation at the Central Landfill this Saturday, June 24, from 8 am to 12 noon. Last chance to buy them at this price, which will increase to $45 each on July 1. Composting significantly reduces the stuff brought to the Central Landfill, and compost adds valuable nutrients to the soil, reducing the need for fertilizers. For more, see the rest of the story at RIRRC.
