Up to 40 Benton County owner-occupied households qualify for a $75 rebate toward the purchase of a compost bin, tumbler, other composting container, or the supplies to build a compost bin. To qualify for the rebate program, you must be able to provide proof of purchase dated after July 1, 2022. If you build a compost bin, a photo of the structure in addition to proof of purchase for supplies is required to qualify for the rebate. Supplies include building materials only, not tools.  

The rebate program will operate on a first come, first serve basis until 40 rebates have been claimed. There are currently 40 rebates remaining. Availability will be updated regularly! If you have questions, please contact Alicia Presto at the East Central Iowa Council of Governments (ECICOG) at alicia.presto@ecicog.org or (319) 289-0058.
