SOUTHWEST HARBOR – In honor of Earth Day 2005, $80 home compost bins may be bought for $36.50 through Saturday, May 7. Order forms are available at the Southwest Harbor town office and at Islandscaping.

The bins have a 10-year warranty and are large enough for use by a family of five.

An estimated 25 percent of the average household’s waste consists of yard trimmings and kitchen scraps, all of which can be composted. Southwest Harbor residents can save up to $65 for every ton of waste they compost instead of shipping out of town for disposal.
