Order a Compost Bin or Rain Barrel

Get a jump start on gardening by ordering a $55 compost bin or a $69 rain barrel for your home (they regularly cost $106 and $139). 

By using a compost bin, you can keep more than a quarter of your household waste out of the garbage while making valuable compost for your garden. A rain barrel will help you save water and money by using rainwater rather than the faucet for your garden and trees. Rain barrels are also a way of trapping the stormwater that runs toward the storm drains – picking up pollutants along the way – and into our lakes, streams and rivers.

You will pick up your compost bin or rain barrel in Minneapolis Saturday, April 26, from the Recycling Association of Minnesota. To pre-order now or to find more information, go to www.recycleminnesota.org/ram-store/ram-sale-events.
