Trash 2 Cash: Week Two Update

We are wrapping up Week One of the Trash 2 Cash challenge, and starting on Week Two. And wow, we have had some really great entries!

We have 145 challengers continuing on to Week Two, and they are doing great!

We also had the opportunity to offer an extra incentive for all our participants: the makers of CompostGenie heard about the contest, and contacted the Hume office; they offered to provide their product, free of charge, to all participants in the challenge...and the winner will also receive a year’s supply! CompostGenie is made in nearby Vankleek Hill, and they describe their product as such:

“Compostgenie is an organic and probiotic deodorizer for your kitchen container, whether you use a green bin or have your own garden composter. Compostgenie goes to work the moment you sprinkle a handful in your kitchen compost container. The beneficial microbes go to work and right away, you’ll have an odorless kitchen container or green bin!”        

You can learn more about it on the CompostGenie website. We’re happy to have a local business supporting our challenge!

Enough chatter; let’s show you some of the photographic highlights from Week One:

On to Week Two! Week Two is a regular garbage week, but we're pretty sure we're going to have lots of participants with no regular garbage to put out. Let's find out...

Oh, one more photo set, by the Matheson household; it's a three-parter, and we LOVED it:
