Composting campaign is on

Published 5:26 pm Thursday, March 26, 2015

Compost Days, a month-long effort to keep food, food-soiled paper and yard waste out of landfills, is on now through April 15 in King County.

Last year, more than 375,000 tons of compostable material was disposed of through through curbside composting and Compost Days – to celebrate, sponsoring organizations are offering discounts on Cedar Grove compost, kitchen food scrap containers and compostable bags. Find details about the discounts at www.compostdays.com.

Also this year, for every bag of Cedar Grove compost purchased during the campaign, one bag of compost will be donated to school-based garden programs and community gardens.

Compost Days is a joint project of King County, Seattle Public Utilities, Waste Management and Cedar Grove.
