Just another weekend at Sunny Compost!

Volunteers worked hard this weekend turning bins, emptying tumblers, sifting finished compost, chopping up newly donated food scraps, sharing information about vermicomposting, adding compost to Barnett Avenue, planning workshops, and adding hay to our leaf bin! It's never dull! Come join us!
