WELLS — The Wells Conservation Commission is participating in a statewide backyard composting bin and kitchen scrap pail sale.
Through May 3, a home compost bin and how-to guide worth a combined retail value of $100 can be purchased for $48. The bin is black, has a 10-year warranty and is made of 100 percent recycled plastic.
In addition, the Sure-Close Kitchen Scrap Pail can also be purchased for $7. The white pail with green lid is made of durable, recycled plastic and is dishwasher safe. The vented lid allows moisture to evaporate reducing odor-causing bacteria.
It is estimated that 30 percent of the average household’s waste consists of yard trimmings and kitchen scraps, which can be easily composted.
Order forms are available at the Wells Town Clerk’s office, the recycling center and online at wellsconservation.org.
Participation is open to all, regardless of town or state residency.
