Thousands of people are expected to find a new home for organic garbage today and Saturday as King County and the city of Seattle sell discounted compost and food-waste bins. Compost is a great water retainer.
Today is the second and last day of Seattle's largest compost-bin sale ever.
The sale will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at South Seattle Community College's north parking lot. Proof of residency is required. Renton - Boeing parking lot, North Eighth Street and Garden Avenue. Auburn - SuperMall parking areas, 55th and 56th off SuperMall Drive, across from Sam's Club and Marshall's. Bring proof of residency.
