Check your mailbox this week for a coupon for a free “Green Kitchen Kit” which should arrive in your CurbWaste and Conserve newsletter. The kits, which feature an EcoSafe Kitchen Collector (shown at right) and compostable bags for storing food scraps, a food scraper, a CFL light bulb and a reusable shopping bag can be picked up starting April 15 at several Neighborhood Service Centers including the University NSC (4534 University Way NE) and Lake City (12525 28th Ave. NE, second floor).

“Green Kit giveaways are part of Compost Days, April 15–May 30, when Seattle Public Utilities, Cedar Grove and Seattle City Light and our community partners are making these special offers to Seattle residents to say “thank you” for helping make our city even better through your recycling and composting efforts,” the Seattle Public Utilities Web site states.
