Looks like Seattle Public Utilities really underestimated demand for free kitchen compost kits and ran out in less than an hour at local neighborhood offices. The Ballard office was out of kits in 30 minutes; it took 50 minutes for the University District office to go through their allotment.
SPU just posted this:
Due to unprecendented popular demand, supplies of the free green kitchen kits offered by Seattle Public Utilities (SPU) were exhausted this morning.
SPU distributed 1,000 kitchen collection kits in the first two hours of the giveaway.
SPU customers can still take advantage of the “Compost Days” compost giveaway and pick up two free bags of compost with the coupon that appeared in the spring edition of the utility’s CurbWaste & Conserve newsletter.
For more details, visit www.CGCompost.com or call 1-877-SOILS-4U.
SPU apologizes for any inconvenience caused to its customers.
