At select workshops, residents can purchase compost bins at a discount. Cash or check only. Limit 2 bins per household. Subject to availability. If supplies run out, other arrangements could be made.

Worm bins include African Red Worms (Eisenia fetida), aka Red Wigglers, the most common type of composting worm. They process large amounts of organic matter (up to half their body weight per day), reproduce rapidly and are very tolerant of variations in soil conditions. As nature's soil aerators, worms improve and condition the soil as they burrow in search of food. Composting worms excrete a valuable natural fertilizer (called castings), which contain 5x the nitrogen, 7x the phosphorus, 3x the magnesium, 11x the potash, and 1.5x the calcium as are normally found in 6 inches of top soil. Other names for Red Wigglers include Tiger worms, Garlic worms, Manure worms, and Brandling worms.
