Montgomery County will host a joint compost bin and rain barrel truckload sale on Saturday, May 19th, 2012 from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. The sale will be taking place at the Greater Plymouth Community Center, 2910 Jolly Rd., Plymouth Meeting, PA.
Compost bins, valued at
$100, will be available for sale at $45 including tax. Rain barrels,
valued at $120, will be available for sale at $55 including tax. Cash,
checks, and credit cards, Visa or Master Card, will be accepted.
“This
is a great opportunity for Montgomery County residents to recycle and
reuse their food scraps, yard waste, and rain water,” said Montgomery
County Recycling Director Chris Kaasmann. “Through composting,
residents can decrease their trash output by 10 – 30% while providing a
great soil amendment for their yard. Collecting rain water can help the
environment and our wallets by reducing potential storm water runoff
while also providing free water for yard plants and vegetation.”
The
sale will take place rain or shine and all items will be available on a
first-come, first-serve basis, while supplies last. Both the compost
bins and rain barrels should be able to fit in most cars. Please plan
accordingly, if you intend to purchase.
For more
information on this and other programs please visit Montgomery County Recycles or contact Chris Kaasmann,
Montgomery County Recycling Coordinator at 610-278-3618.
