Composted Goodness

Whether you realize it or not, composting saves green. Trash pick-up is included or subsidized by the taxes you or your landlord pays. The more often and the greater the quantity and/or weight of trash collected, the more the city is charged for this service. And the city is kind enough to pass that charge along to you.
And as the trash piles up and more landfill space is required, the city has to purchase more land for landfills. Which means an increased number and amount of space taken up by landfills. Why waste land on landfills!?! By composting you can keep tax costs down, and save money on your gardening needs by producing your own high-quality compost instead of using store-bought fertilizers and manure.

Residents served by the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority can take advantage of a 30% discount offered by Covered Bridge Organic on their composting bins. Plus, get free delivery! Composting never felt so good. Try these websites to learn how to get started:
