GREEN INITIATIVES

HLR employees are promoting environmental health by composting food scraps and yard waste.

Composting is using the natural process of decay to change organic wastes into a valuable humus-like material called compost. Compost bins can help accelerate natural processes. HLR employees purchased compost bins through Kane County. Proceeds support Kane County’s Master Gardner Program.

The informational sheets above discusses the composting process in detail, and how to purchase your own compost bin through Kane County.
