Food Scrap Composting Kit Giveaway
The Peoria County Sustainability & Resource Conservation Team is celebrating Earth Month 2021 with a Food Scrap Composting Kit Giveaway! The winners of our Earth Month Giveaway will receive a starter subscription to help them begin Food Scrap Composting at home.
Food scraps make up about 30% of what we throw away. By turning those unused scraps into composted material, we are able to put beneficial nutrients back into the earth and add to the value of our soil. Food scrap composting services also allow residents to compost a larger variety of materials that cannot be composted through backyard or vermicomposting (worm composting).
The Food Scrap Composting Kit Giveaway starts Sunday, April 18, 2021 and lasts through 5:00 p.m. CST on Friday, May 7, 2021.
