Backyard composting. easy
and inexpensive do-it-yourself
recycling. is underway in Kings
Mountain in a cooperative pro-
ject of the City of Kings
Mountain and Kings Mountain
Garden Club.
"It's less work than bagging
leaves and dragging yard trim-
mings to the curb and the 100
percent recycled plastic bins are
easy to use because they require
no assembly and cost only
$13.87." said Public Works
Supt. Karl Moss.
He said the bins are available
to the general public, not just
inside city residents, and require
no chemical or other additives
to make them work.
The homeowner simply un-
folds the three foot by three foot
bin and fills it with leaves,
grass, fruit and vegetable mat-
ter from kitchen and garden,
shredded newspapers, paper
towels, facial tissues, crushed
egg shells, tea bags, coffee
grounds and filters.
One bin can handle up to
three quarters of a ton of mate-
rial over a full year of use, says
Moss.
Moss says that homeowners
should fo'low the easy direc-
tions far mixing green and
brown materials so that the
compost bin won't give off
odors. Steer clear of all meats,
fats, oils, table scraps and dairy
products. Kitchen waste, such
as vegetable matters, should be
buried within the compost bin
under some yard waste.
"This program goes a long
way toward saving resident's
money since it eliminates the
need for all of those expensive
paper lawn and leaf bags,"said
Moss who said the city saves
money too by not having to
pickup the materials and pro-
cess them.
The garden club has worked
out an arrangement so that
homecwners can obtain the
composting bins at about half
the price they would pay for a
CCC bond vote approved
County: Commissioners
Tuesday approved a $2.8 mil-
lion bond referendum for
Cleveland Community College.
Voters will go to the polls on
March 7, 1995.
If approved, the bonds would
provide $2 million for a class-
room/laboratory building,
$700,000 for a fire and rescue
training center and $100,000 for
future land acquisitions.
State funds are available for
$2,208,022, approved in the
November 1993 state-wide
bond referendum, require local
matching funds for the class-
room/laboratory building.
The state funds plus the re-
quested local bond funds of $2
million would construct a $4.2
’
equivalent bin.
"Preserving the Kings
Mountain environment is a very
important priority and we hope
everyone will participate,” said
Moss.
Sign-up forms are available
at the Public Works
Department, 1013 N. Piedmont
Ave., or at several local retail
stores and other locations where
the program's promotional sign
is displayed. You can also call
toll free, 1-800-595-6446, and
register. Master Card, VISA and
persor:1 checks are accepted.
Once cgi ered, a homeowner
will recive a 12-page instruc-
tion guide compost bin distribu-
tion site list and a coupon re-
deemable for a Kings Mountain
groundskeeper II Compost Bin.
The coupon can be redeemed
for the compost bin at the
Public Works Department.
Moss said that homeowners
with large lots may need more .
than one bin.
For the average size lot, one
bin will compost a homeowner's
yard waste and compostable
kitchen trimmings for an entire
year.
Using a simplified approach
to composting, no additives or
excessive work is required.
"Green" material such as grass
clippings and vegetable trim-
mings are mixed with "brown"
material such as leaves or news-
paper ripped into small strips
and then nature takes care of the
rest.
After a year, or the next
spring, the material turns into a
dark humus for use as mulch
around flower beds, gardens or
shrubs. An average homeown-
er's yard waste once composted
will produce about one wheel-
barrow of humus.
"Because the city does not
have to pick up the material,
this program will also eliminate
the exhaust emissions generated
from processing the organic
waste at a central site," said
Moss.
million classroom/laboratory
building.
College President Dr. Steve
Thornburg said that during the
past decade the number of indi-
viduals in curriculum programs
has increased 28 percent over
1982 with few new classrooms
or labs. He said the Tech Prep
program is projected to increase
technical and vocational enroll-
ments over the next three years
and the new building will pro-
vide much needed classrooms
and labs during critical morning
and evening hours when
class/lab space is set at a premi-
um.
