We are applying for a Grant for about $89,000, which will help us finish the recycle center that we purchased on the Dean property. Hopefully by Spring, we should be able to move the compost pile from its present location. We need to advertise so residents can to take full advantage of compost pile. We also plan to use some of the compost for our trees at the parks and town hall.
