Town Of Clinton: Interested In Composting Or Saving Rain Water?

Press release from the Town of Clinton:

February 5, 2021

Composting is a practical way to reduce waste, combat climate change and save money on trash disposal and gardening materials. Composting turns your yard and kitchen waste into “black gold” that improves your soil and feeds your plants. It’s easy to do and the benefits are terrific!

Rain barrels collect water from house gutters and the water can be used on gardens and other plantings. The water is chlorine free and the life in the soil love it. Rain barrels can significantly reduce water usage and save homeowners money. The City of Middletown Public Works Department and The Lower CT River Valley Council of Governments are working together to offer this to help residents conserve water, reduce waste and save money!

If interested, go to https://rivercogcompostersale.... for more information and to place orders. Orders must be placed online by April 8, 2021. A masked, socially distanced pick up will be on Sunday, April 11th at Veteran’s Memorial Park on Walnut Grove Road in Middletown from 9:00 a.m. – 11:00 a.m. and at Tractor Supply 401 Middlesex Turnpike in Old Saybrook from 1:00 p.m. – 3:00 p.m. When ordering, the customer must choose which location for pickup.
