Lakewood To Host Compost Seminar And Bin Sale

The Lakewood Division of Refuse and Recycling will host a Composting Seminar conducted by the Cuyahoga County Solid Waste District on Tuesday, September 13, 2011 at 6:30 p.m. in the Woman’s Club Pavilion at Lakewood Park, 14532 Lake Avenue. Participants will learn how to compost household yard waste and food scraps. Compost bins will be available for sale after the seminar.

Composting is an inexpensive way of adding nutrients back into the soil to improve its texture, structure, aeration ability and water holding capacity and can save time and money spent on yard waste bags. Lakewood City Ordinance 1783.12 allows composting in the rear yard if it is a reasonable distance from thoroughfares, kept in orderly condition and doesn’t blow around or emit objectionable odors.

To register for this free seminar, call the Division of Refuse and Recycling at (216) 252-4322 or email refuse@lakewoodoh.net.
