Anoka County Recycling & Resource Solutions
It’s time to start thinking about backyard gardening for green thumb enthusiasts and now is a great time to get a compost bin. Jump-start waste reduction and gardening efforts by setting up a compost bin at your home. This spring, Anoka County, the City of Anoka and the Green Expo are partnering with the Recycling Association of Minnesota (RAM) to bring residents affordable compost bins to Anoka County residents at a greatly reduced cost. Limited quantities available. There are many economic and environmental benefits to using compost bins. By using a compost bin, the average home can reduce more than 25 percent of waste from going into the trash, which can save money by reducing disposal costs. These compost bins come with a 10-year warranty, are made from recycled content

and are extremely affordable. Compost bins are only $44 when Anoka County residents use the discount code ‘Anoka.’ “Providing compost bins to residents at a reduced cost helps residents manage food and vegetable scraps and some yard waste in their own backyard, which reduces the impact of transporting it to a compost site and helps create compost—a usable product that greatly benefits sandy soils in Anoka County,” stated Sue Doll, Solid Waste Specialist with Anoka County. Compost bins and rain barrels are available for preorder to pick up at either distribution event in Anoka County. For specific dates, locations, placing a pre-order and additional information, go to RecycleMinnesota.org.
