Tired of seeing all those kitchen leftovers from preparing meals and snacks get thrown out in the trash?

Here’s your chance to turn those scraps into a rich soil amendment. It is estimated that 25 percent of the average household’s waste consists of organic yard waste and kitchen scraps which can easily be composted. Residents of Southern New Hampshire can save money for every ton of waste they compost. Otherwise, the food we throw in the trash must be trucked away for disposal or incineration.

Beaver Brook Association is participating in a statewide backyard composting bin sale. You may purchase an Earth Machine home compost bin and how-to guide through Beaver Brook Association. The Kitchen Pail, designed for kitchen organics, is also available. This beige oval-shaped pail with tight-closing lid has a 7 ½ liter capacity and accommodates the shape of dishes making it perfect for mess-free scraping.

In addition Beaver Brook has compost turners for helpful aeration of the compost pile.
