HRM recognizes environmental stewards
during compost
awareness week
Monday, May 7, 2012 - "Give Back to the Earth ... Compost!" That's the
theme for this year's International Compost Awareness Week being held from May 6
to 12.
In recognition of this special week, HRM Solid Waste Resources will be
rewarding residents seen properly using public spaces multi-stream separation
bins. Staff will be at Mic Mac Mall on Monday, May 7 and in downtown Halifax on
Wednesday, May 9. You can also visit us at the Halifax Seaport Market on
Saturday, May 12 to answer all your composting questions and enter to win a
composting prize pack.
Composting is a natural biological process through which organic material
is converted into a soil-like product called compost. Whether you are green bin
composting or backyard composting, composting diverts a resource material away
from landfill disposal.
