Compost Days celebration events
Cedar Grove is celebrating its 10th annual Compost Days.
This year’s events run through Sunday, April 22.
“Compost Days is Cedar Grove’s thank you to the residents of the Puget Sound region for so diligently recycling their yard and food scraps, making our region a national leader in composting,” said Karen Dawson, director of marketing and community relations for Cedar Grove, in a media release. “By leaving their compostable material at the curb, Puget Sound residents prevent those materials from ending up in landfills and ensure the material is instead manufactured locally into nutritious soils.”
From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, April 14 Cedar Grove will be hosting a volunteer event at Maple Valley’s Elk Run Farm, 22500 SE 275th Place. The event includes working on the farm, weeding and transplanting vegetable starts students from Tahoma High School planted earlier this year.
