Compost Days is digging into the spring planting season with a Cedar Grove truckload sale and the Big Garden Give compost drive on Saturday, March 22.

The campaign is a partnership between multiple entities, with the goals being to thank residents for diverting 350,000 tons of food and yard scraps from landfills by composting at curbside, to donate free compost to more than 150 gardens that feed the hungry and offer residents deep discounts on compost and kitchen containers.

The public can participate by donating a bag or taking a pledge to compost between March 15 and April 15 at www.compostdays.com.
