Composting. A simple
way to save a pile.
Composting saves you and your community money. It’s an easy way
to convert yard wastes into a nutrient-rich soil additive. Used on
your lawn and garden, it can save water, improve soil quality and cut
down on the amount of expensive fertilizers, peat moss, and mulch
you buy. Plus, yard waste takes up as much as 20% of what we dump.
So, composting can make your landfill last longer. That could
mean lower sanitation fees and a savings of tax dollars to you. ,1''
So heap it up! C < >mp< >st and save. For more information visit or call: Ag
