14th Annual Compost Bin Sale Happening Now Through May 25

The City of Milwaukee, in partnership with the Wisconsin-based nonprofit Recycling Connections, is proud to host the 14th annual compost bin sale now through May 25. City and non-city residents can pre-order their own Home Composter bin and Kitchen Katcher stainless steel pail online at www.recyclingconnections.org/milwaukee for $68 and $25, respectively. The Home Composter bin is highly rated by expert composters, durable, easy to assemble, and made from 100% recycled materials. 13th District Alderman Scott Spiker highly encourages the public to take part in this year’s sale.

“Composting is an easy and accessible way to support our environment by reducing landfill waste, lowering greenhouse gas emissions, improving soil health, and a host of other benefits,” said Alderman Spiker. “By composting our everyday waste, we can all play a role in making our city a greener and more environmentally responsible place to live. As representative of Milwaukee’s Garden District, I highly encourage everyone to participate in this year’s sale and to pick up their own composting bin. These seemingly small, collective efforts have the potential to create lasting change in our communities.”

All composting bins must be pre-ordered by May 25. Purchased items will be available for pick-up on Saturday, June 7 from 9:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. at the Milwaukee DPW Sanitation Building, 4031 S. 6th St.
