organic compost

The Falmouth Public Works Department has organic compost in supply this spring. Many residents are already taking advantage of this natural and reusable product for their gardens, lawns, and landscaping. We hope other residents will take advantage of this product, which is for sale at a fraction of the cost of wholesale distributors.
