Monroe County Composting Survey

 

PLEASE FILL OUT THIS SURVEY!

Monroe County DES is sponsoring an Organics Management Plan survey. The survey asks for input about how you feel about composting, how much you might be willing to pay for it, etc. It would be great to have as many pro-composting allies complete the survey as possible. 

You can be entered for a chance to win a $50 if you complete the survey.

ReTree provides the selected flora free of charge, while supplies last.
