Building the Food Bank's Compost Bins


June 2010 Sunburst, Food Bank, and Vista/Americorps volunteers spent a weekend building the 30' x 4' x 4' compost bin at the Great Falls Community Food Bank.  We were so excited to have compost bins at the Food Bank to begin "making dirt" from the tons of food waste each year that usually ends up at the landfill.
