Beaufort County to sell compost bins

Beaufort County is offering a limited supply of 96-gallon compost bins for $50 each.

These bins, which typically cost $109 each, come with a 10-year warranty and were made from recycled materials, according to a county news release.

The county received the bins as part of a grant program funded by the S.C. Department of Health and Environmental Control aimed at promoting the many benefits of composting, including waste reduction and soil enrichment.

The compost bins can be ordered by sending an email to ccarter@bcgov.net.
