An Invitation to all Tompkins County Composters to. . . .

Put Yourself on the Map!!

(You may win a prize. . .)

Cornell Cooperative Extension of Tompkins County is gathering information about how much composting takes place in the county.  We are proud of the many households and businesses that reduce their waste through composting and we would like to know just how many composters there are!

With that in mind, we are putting together the Tompkins County Composters Map, which will have a dot placed on it for every household and business that sends in a "Compost Information Card" (cards are available at the Cooperative Extension office and the Tompkins County Solid Waste Management Division office).  The cards ask a few simple questions about your compost system.  So send one in, and get the recognition you deserve.  Then spread the word among all the composters you know - let's get everyone on the map!  (Composters may also respond by e-mail or by using the attached form, to Adam Michaelides.)

Prize drawings from registered county composters will be held twice a year, at the annual Compost Fair in April, and in November to celebrate "America Recycles Day." So send or e-mail your card today, and have a chance at winning a compost prize!
