Purchase A Discounted Compost Bin And Rain Barrel At The Annual RAM Sale In City Of Mendota Heights

Press release from the City of Mendota Heights:

March 1, 2022

Dakota County residents can help their yard and save money through the annual Recycling Association of Minnesota (RAM) compost bin and rain barrel sale beginning March 1.

Residents get 30 percent off when they order online, while supplies last, at recycleminnesota.org, using the promo code Dakota. Pre-ordered bins and barrels can be picked up at the Mendota Heights Public Works Facility on Saturday, May 14, from 9 a.m. to noon, or from the City of Lakeville Central Maintenance Facility, or any of the other distribution events in the metro area.

By composting at home, residents can easily convert organic materials — grasses, leaves, garden debris and food scraps — into a nutrient-rich mixture that will reduce the need for yard fertilizers and pesticides. Rain barrels reduce stormwater runoff and store water that can be used later for lawns and gardens.
