25% Off Compost Products at Deschutes Recycling

Pick up some compost today to Topdress your lawn or Mulch your plants for the fall gardening season.  Compost is an essential ingredient to winterizing your lawn and garden. 

Deschutes Recycling compost is tested by a US Composting approved lab to ensure quality and reliability.

ReGrow Compost is $22.00 per yard - save $8 per yard

BioFine Compost is $19.00 per yard -  save $7 per yard

SoilBuilder Compost is $15.00 per yard - save $5 per yard

Mulching for winter:  Around the time your perennials are dying back for winter and the ground is freezing, you should mulch around your plants with a few inches of SoilBuilder.  The dark compost will help insulate the roots and attract sunlight in the spring helping the soil warm a little more quickly, while releasing nutrients for your awakening plants. You will also have moisture-holding mulch in place for the coming heat of summer.  For excellent, ready-to-plant soil, till 2-3 inches of compost into beds you will plant the following spring or summer.

Topdressing the lawn:  Apply a thin layer (¼ to ½ inch) of BioFine or ReGrow compost to your lawn in the fall and again in the spring to help build up a good supply of organic matter and nutrients for the next growing season.  If you haven’t done this yet, you will be amazed at what topdressing does for your lawn!  In addition to helping your grass grow stronger and greener, it reduces thatch, makes turf more drought-resistant and saves water by helping soil hold moisture.  It also helps bare spots fill in, helps lawns fight fungal diseases, reduces your need for fertilizers and keeps fertilizers from washing away.

CAN Cancer Please Help Us ‘Pitch In’

CAN Cancer, Community Assistance for Neighbors with Cancer, was founded by the Central Oregon garbage haulers to help ease some of the financial pressure for local people being treated for cancer.  Fighting cancer affects the entire family’s lifestyle.  Your support can make difference.

“Hearing the words “you have cancer” are some of the most stressful words a person can hear.  But once that initial shock wears off and people start to deal with the realities of treatment, the logistics can be overwhelming particularly for so many of the folks in our local and neighboring communities who have already been hit so hard by the economy. Fighting cancer is expensive.  No one should ever have to choose between keeping their home or putting gas in their car to make it to treatment, but we hear that all the time. Last year we gave out over $38,000 to patients in need – that was more than twice what we gave out the previous year.  Thanks to CAN Cancer we’ve never had to turn anyone away,” Kattaryna Stiles, Community Outreach Coordinator, St. Charles Cancer Center.

Your donation will help our neighbors-in-need stay strong.  100% of your donation stays in Central Oregon and 100% of every dollar goes to the CAN cancer.

For more information, please visit www.cancancer.org

Thank you for your support
