Here is a handy flyer that was emailed to us\u00a0from the City of Denver for their Compost program. I am glad to see that cities and people are starting to compost all of their compostable trash rather than throwing it into the landfills. These programs create valuable compost that can be used in our landscapes and avoids having them pile up in landfills.<\/p>\n

Here’s\u00a0an example\u00a0email below, which links to the following Compost Collection Program page<\/a> for more info (also shown below).<\/p>\n
