If I hadn't bought one in the last year of the HCRSWD sale I wouldn't have one - and would NEVER have started composting.

Composting inspired us to start using our cities recycling bins, and today we only generate about a plastic grocery bag of landfill bound trash a week. Thank You Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District!

I put a lot of effort into my composting, recycling, etc., but I know most people think it's a pain in the ass!Jeffreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01941502320943200492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5567973235731943181.post-44595190114066138132013-12-12T11:15:44.464-08:002013-12-12T11:15:44.464-08:00We would like to see Hamilton County Recycling and...We would like to see Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District still hold the annual compost bin sale. By selling at cost at trailer load prices they were able to sell compost bins for $35.00 and rain barrels for $50.00. This cost effective sale benefits all of us by reducing solid waste that would go into landfills and reducing excess storm water that would overflow our sewer system. It is too bad this sale was stopped to satisfy a few businesses that sell the same or similar products at substantially higher prices. By doing that these products were priced out of reach for many Hamiliton County residents, even with the discount coupons offered by the county. This was a case where a government agency was doing it better than the private sector at no cost to the taxpayer and actually saving us money. We would like to thank the Hamilton County Recycling and Solid Waste District for all they are allowed to do to make our lives better. Happy Holidays!
