Visit Waste Check at an information display near you to pick up a sunflower seed to plant (while supplies last) and enter your name in a random draw for a backyard composter. Waste Check will be setting up displays in the following locations from 11 am - 3 pm: De La Tour Co-op, Pubnico (May 5) Clarence's Foodland, Clare (May 6) Yarmouth Mall (May 7) Digby Superstore (May 8th) Yarmouth Mall (May 9th) Residential Compost Giveaway! You are invited to visit the Yarmouth County Solid Waste Park on the Hardscratch Road on Saturday May 10th from 9:30 - 11:30 a.m. to pick up some free compost made from your organics picked up at the curb. Waste Check would like to thank the Town of Yarmouth for generously providing the compost. There is a limit of two bags per vehicle while quantities last. You are encouraged to bring your own shovel.
