Celebrate World Food Day with Largo's Compost Program

The City of Largo continues to expand a commitment to sustainability through a new composting bin program. The program, which provides a free composting bin to Largo residents for their own home use, launched last October on World Food Day. Since program launch, 555 Largo residents have requested a compost bin!  
 
Individuals shared that they composted for a variety of reasons including: providing healthy soil for their garden, improving the natural environment, reducing their waste, and reducing their carbon footprint. As one resident shared, "Don't be afraid, it's a simple way to decrease the amount of trash and also helps with plants around the house."
