Composting is an effective way to recycle -- both at home and at work, where organic material is used and waste is created.  It is estimated that about 50% of the total waste stream could be composted.  Backyard composting is a great way to reduce garbage.  The compost is a valuable addition to lawns and gardens.

Composters are available from the Town of Orangeville at the subsidized price of $10, at the Operations Centre, 500 C Line.  Call 519-941-9124 Ext. 4520 or e-mail . for more information.
