Annual Composting Survey
Do you compost at home? Each year, the Solid Waste District measures the number of households in the county that have backyard composting. Consider completing our composting survey for 2022; the deadline to respond is March 15, 2023. Survey respondents will be entered in a drawing to receive a free GeoBin.
