"The Earth MachineTM Backyard Compost Bin and The SYSTERN Rain Barrel have arrived in
Alachua County!"

This Spring, take a step towards reducing your carbon footprint! Alachua County is pleased to present a one-day-only backyard compost bin and rain barrel distribution event. This exciting green initiative will feature both The Earth MachineTM Backyard Compost Bin, the bin of choice for over 3,000 municipalities, and the NEW SYSTERN Rain Barrel. Both products will be available to Alachua County residents on a first come, first served basis. Earth Machine� Backyard Compost Bins and SYSTERN Rain Barrels will be available for only $39.00 and $45.00, respectively, tax included. This is a significant savings from the regular retail prices of $100.00 and $120.00.

According to EPA studies, a single-family household can expect to divert approximately 600lbs of waste per year using a backyard compost bin. Homeowners can use the Earth MachineTM to compost fruit, vegetable scraps, crushed eggshells, tea bags, coffee grounds and filters from their kitchen. Add in layers of mulched leaves, dried grass, garden plants, old potting soil and soft plant stems from the garden. With a little maintenance and care, in as little as 6 to 8 weeks, the material is broken down naturally into compost. Organic material that is not composted is sent to landfills where it produces methane gas, a potent greenhouse gas emission. Compost can be used as a rich soil additive for lawns and gardens improving soil water retention and give you greener grass, healthier flowers and better fruits and vegetables. Join the millions that are composting using The Earth MachineTM compost bin, reduce curbside waste and help diminish climate change.

Dog needs help to walk again...

Wed, Oct 8th 2008 Announcements

GAINESVILLE, FLORIDA, October 8, 2008- On September 28, 2008 a young stray dog who we now call "Auto" was hit by an automobile in front of the Alachua County Humane Society and had the luck or presence of mind to wander into the bushes next to one of the buildings of the Humane Society. He was discovered Monday morning by staff and was dehydrated and in shock. The Humane Society made Auto comfortable until he could be transported to Alachua County Animal Services for mandatory holding to see if an owner would come forward.

No owner came forward and the dog was evaluated by several vets during the holding period at the County Shelter. Auto is suffering from a severely damaged hind leg which will require extensive treatment or amputation and nerve damage in his other hind leg which makes his future tenuous. Auto is also suffering from damage to his pelvis. This is making it very hard for Auto to get around on his own. Staff from the Humane Society have refused to give up on Auto and are working with him daily.
