Come one, come all!
Let your rotting vegetables answer the call...to compost!
Last year, as part of his Eagle Scout service project, Luca Kingston built three very large and very sturdy compost bins.
Today, the Scouts of Troop 94 are just itching to facilitate the natural process of recycling organic matter.
Instead of letting your left-over fruits, vegetables, and coffee grounds languish in the garbage, let them serve a more worthwhile cause.
The resulting compost will be used to recycle nutrients and improve the soil health of the St. Stephen's grounds.
Simply collect items from the list below and drop them in the compost bin at the far end of the cemetery (into the third bin, the farthest from the church._
That's it! The Troop 94 Scouts take care of the rest.
ITEMS THAT CAN BE COMPOSTED
Small uncoated pieces of Cardboard and Paper
Coffee grounds and filters
Eggshells
Fireplace ashes (natural wood only)
Fruits and vegetables
Grass clippings
Hair and fur
Hay and straw
Houseplants
Leaves
Shredded newspaper
Nutshells
Sawdust
Tea Bags
Wood chips
Yard trimmings (only if not treated with pesticide!)
PLEASE DON'T BRING: Fats, grease, meat, fish scraps, dairy, eggs, diseased or insect ridden plants, charcoal ash, black walnut tree leaves or twigs.
