Compost Bin Order Deadline April 28th
You have until April 28th to place your order for the Maine Resource Recovery Association compost bin sale. Orders will be taken at the Town Office at $45.00 each (tax included). Checks should be written to “MRRA” (Maine Resource Recovery Association).
These bins have a 10-year warranty and are made of 100% recycled black plastic. They are approximately a 40-gallon size, 35” high and 33” wide and come in 3 pieces so that they are easy to transport. It is estimated that Raymond residents can save $138.00 for every ton of waste they compost.
A covered kitchen scrap pail is also available for $8.00 each and a Wingdigger for $17.00. New last year was a 55 gal rain barrel for collecting garden water for $58.50. All these items are displayed at the Town Office.
What is a Wingdigger? It’s a tool to turn your compost in the compost bin. The rain barrel is equipped with a strainer in the lid which keeps out undesirable refuse and animals. It has connections so that the barrels can be linked together to gather more water. It also has a spigot at the bottom so that you can pour off water into another container.
A new product this year is a REOTEMP Backyard Compost Thermometer with a 20” stem designed for monitoring the interior temperature in your backyard sized composter. Range 0-200 degrees. The price is $18.50.
SAMPLES ARE ON DISPLAY AT THE TOWN OFFICE.
These items will be available for delivery on or about May 24th .
