Composting at 4MR Winter Market!
At least for the next few weeks, composting will continue at 4MR Winter Market! The City is still working out its resources for the winter after that. At least for now, bring your non-animal-based food scraps in any type of container you choose.  And tell them how much you want them to support composting at 4MR Winter Market all season!
