As part of Earth Day 2009 celebration, the Bremen Conservation Commission is participating in a statewide sale of backyard composting bins. Through May 2, a home compost bin and how-to guide with a combined retail value of $100 can be purchase for only $37.50 (tax included). Order forms are available now at the Town Office. On Bremen Clean Up Day, Sat., April 18, the BCC will take orders and have a sample bin on display in Bremen Fire Station parking lot; on Earth Day, Wednesday, April 22, they will be set up in the Town Center parking lot. There are a limited number of compost bins available and they are being sold on a first come, first serve basis.
It's estimated that 25 percent of the average household's waste consists of yard trimmings and kitchen scraps that can be easily composted and turned into rich soil for your garden.
Residents from other towns are welcome to participate in the sale. For more information, or to receive an order form, call Diane at 529-4499 or email doc@tidewater.net.
