Free Composting Workshop - Tuesday, March 16, 2010 at 7 PM
Old Worthington Library (820 High Street) Meeting Room*
Attendees will learn safe, simple and effective methods to start their own home composting program in this FREE workshop. All are welcome! Please invite others you think might be interested. This workshop is sponsored by Franklin Soil and Water Conservation District,
Worthington Department of Public Service and Sustainable Worthington.
Backyard composting can be the most
economical and environmental way to manage organic
materials produced at home. Composting is
one of the oldest, easiest and “greenest” methods of
recycling! While saving landfill space, you can use one of
Mother Nature’s best ways to reduce and reuse.
Material that would normally go into your
garbage can go into the compost bin producing nutrient rich
soil amendments for use in your garden, and all for free!
Using compost helps improve any soil type, and produces
healthier plants requiring less water, fertilizer and thus helps keep harmful pollutants out of our
local waterways.
Please print and distribute this Workshop Flyer in
pdf format.
*Note: the library generously makes its meeting room available to community groups like ours free of
charge but asks that we do NOT park in the library parking lots.
PreCycle Day - 6pm Wednesday, April 21, 2010, until 8pm Thursday, April 22
Curbside throughout the City of Worthington
Retrieve, Repair and Reuse !!! Tell Your Neighbors !!!!
Join Worthington residents in a city-wide free exchange of reusable, no-longer-needed items, at curbside in front
of your homes. Set out reusable items (not trash) and then check out other offerings in your neighborhood.
All treasures that you claim are in an "as is" condition.
You will be: keeping usable items from the landfill and recycle stream; saving the energy required to process trash
and recyled items; uncluttering that garage, back bedroom, closet and basement; saving yourself and your neighbors from
spending money to buy those items in a store; saving energy and resources that won't be spent to manufacture a new instance
of the items you retrieve; connecting with your neighbors; making Worthington a better place to live and celebrating Earth Day!
Any resident served by the City of Worthington’s Rumpke trash pickup is eligible to set out re-usable items.
If you would like to help with the planning, please Contact Us.
Please print and distribute these
full-page flyers and
quarter-page handbills in
pdf format.
