In honor of Earth Day, April 22, Hennepin County will let you buy one of these for "dirt cheap" (if you live in Hennepin County)! I stole the following details from the Hennepin County site after gerg told me all about the deal.

Sure, you could make your own compost bin...I'm not denying that. In fact, my mom would probably give me crap for buying one. But this one looks like it'll keep the dog out...definitely something to consider when your dog is a bigger scavenger than Oliver Twist.

Marie - You read my mind! I was just looking to buy a composter for our new house. Isn't it great to be an adult and excited about composting!?! I'm going to order me one of these!
