Each compost bin comes with a home composting handbook that provides information on how to compost as well as assembly instructions.
Compost bins will allow homeowners to recycle leaves, grass clippings, and vegetable kitchen scraps to create natural mulch for gardens and lawns. The removal of these recyclables from the waste stream that goes to the landfill is both cost effective for residents and is an ecologically sound way to enhance a garden.
For more information about the compost bin sale, contact Durham One Call at (919) 560-1200 or to learn more about the Earth Machine compost bin, visit the Norseman Environmental website at www.EarthMachine.com.
