From Essex County Environmental Center:

Essex County has announced its third Compost Bin and Rain Barrel Sale on Sunday May 21, 2023. This event is in conjunction with the Essex County Environmental Center, local municipalities, and NJ distributor Brand Builders.

Building on the success of two events in 2022 and on other environmental programming, the county is aiming to increase awareness of home conservation practices and the positive impact they can have on the local and global environment. Food scraps account for approximately 25% of all waste disposed and diverting them to a backyard compost bin allows that material to be recycled in a low impact, low cost way into valuable compost. Catching rain water in rain barrels saves water and reduces the volume of storm water that requires management. Collected water also can be used in home gardens.

Regenerative home practices such as composting and rain water collection help to ease our impact on the environment and allow us to improve our home gardens at little expense. The products being offered for sale are at discount prices thanks to the wholesale distribution model of the event.
