If you live in Richmond or the surrounding towns and counties, the Central Virginia Waste Management Authority (CVWMA) wants to make home composting an even more attractive option for you. Residents of the 13 member jurisdictions of the CVWMA are eligible to purchase select home composting bins at a discount from two online retailers...
Residents of the region pictured above can choose from four different compost bins. Covered Bridge Organic offers residents a 30 percent discount on the Soil Saver and the Wishing Well. Solarcone offers discounts on the Green Cone and the Green Johanna composting bins.
The CVWMA believes home composting will help reduce the need to collect yard waste for recycling. We think this discount program is a great way to get people involved in composting, and hope other local municipalities establish similar programs in the future.

FYI, Massachusetts residents have access to significantly subsidized compost bins. There's lots of information on the mass.gov site if you go digging for it, I don't have to do so at the moment. Basically, call your local DPW and ask if they have any available and how much they are. If they don't have any, call a nearby town, they might still have some.
