Composting is coming to Cleveland Park! 

 

Our most requested addition to the Cleveland Park Farmers Market is just around the corner. We're working with a local composting company who is generously donating their pickup services, but we need your help to cover the start-up costs.

 

With this important service, we estimate that Cleveland Park could divert nearly 2 tons of food waste from our landfills each week, at no additional cost to you.

 

Why $5,000? Here's our cost breakdown:

<ul>
<li>(15) 32-gallon Toter bins = $975 
</li>
<li>(20 boxes) compostable bin liners = $1,598
</li>
<li>(1) bucket and lid = $22
</li>
<li>Large spoons = $14
</li>
<li>Tax = $234
</li>
<li>Marketing = $500
</li>
<li>Staff Time = $1,657
</li>
<li>Total: $5,000
</li>
</ul>
