Composting is a great way to recycle our organic "waste" into a beneficial soil amendment for our yards and gardens. Composting at home can also help reduce methane production at landfills. Using the compost in our landscapes helps store carbon in the soil instead of releasing it to the atmosphere. Compost creates heathy soil, reducing or elimination the need for fertilizers, pesticides and irrigation. And we can reduce our trash by 50 percent or more by composing leaves, grass clippings, garden debris, fruit peels, vegetable scraps, tea bags, coffee grounds, egg
shells, paper towels, napkins and even paper bags.
Its easy to make compost and the Town of Norton makes it even easier by offering rodent-resistant home composting bins for $25.00, over 50% off the retail price. To obtain a discounted compost bin, stop in at the Board of health office. Act now, supplies are limited!
