International Compost Awareness Week
May 3 - May 9
Composting is nature's way of recycling. It is the natural process of decomposition and recycling of organic material, such as leaves, garden waste and grass, into a humus rich-soil amendment known as compost. Compost improves soil naturally by adding moisture and nutrients that nurture plant health.
The City of Valparaiso Public Works Department will be on hand at the Valparaiso Compost Site Monday, May 4 through Saturday, May 9 from 9 a.m. until Noon, to load compost free of charge. (Businesses interested in participating should call 462-4612 for further details.)
