Stationary & Tumbling Compost Bin Features:

The slideshow below highlights the major features of the stationary & tumbling compost bin options.

Small-scale composting diverts food scraps and yard waste, which compose 20-30% of what we throw away, from landfills. The finished compost can then be applied to your lawn and gardens as a nonchemical fertilizer and will improve the soil's structure and water retention, and grow healthier, disease-resistant plants. An additional benefit is that organics recycled in a backyard compost bin have a lower impact on our environment than if the materials were dumped in a landfill. The methane produced by organic material breaking down in a landfill is a contributor to global climate change.

Rain Barrel Features:

The slideshow below highlights the major features of a 55-gal rain barrel; however, if you are interested in viewing a rain barrel in person before placing an order, a rain barrel is on permanent display in the 1st floor lobby of the Planning & Public Works building at 10 S Littler Ave. 

Rain barrels are a simple, efficient, and low-cost method to reduce the amount of stormwater runoff leaving your property by collecting the water draining from your home's gutter system. The stored water can then be used to water your lawn and gardens, rinse garden tools, or even wash your car! Using a rain barrel during the summer months may also reduce your utility bill by easing your reliance on City water.
