The Naugatuck Valley Council of Governments (NVCOG) announced it is offering backyard composters, rain barrels, and related accessories at wholesale prices to residents of the Naugatuck Valley Region.
Residents can pre-order at the NVCOG online store (connecticut.compostersale.com/nvcog2/) through Thursday, May 2, 2024.
This is a pick-up event only.
Items will be available for pick-up May 4 between 10 a.m.-1 p.m. at the Seymour Community Center, 20 Pine St., Seymour.
- Backyard composters are a great way for residents to turn food and yard waste into valuable compost that can be used to amend soil for vegetables, flowers, and lawns.
- Rain barrels can provide a reliable source of chemical free water for outdoor uses such as watering lawns and gardens by collecting rainwater.
The NVCOG strives to help communities reduce the volume and cost of municipal solid waste disposal by diverting organics from the waste stream and help conserve drinking water by providing an alternative water source for outdoor needs.
The public is encouraged to visit the NVCOG webpage for more information and resources on backyard composting, including a video of an informational workshop with a Master Composter.
