Going green just got easier in Ramsey. The city, in collaboration with the Recycling Association of Minnesota, is making sure residents have all they need to kick-start their sustainable living practices with a sale of 100% recycled plastic compost bins and rain barrels. No more excuses for those aspiring to eco-friendlier lives – but you’ll need to hop online to grab yours. according to the City of Ramsey.

If you’re interested in snagging one of these earth-lovin’ items, you’ve got to plan ahead. There will be no chance buys or impulse purchases on-site, so buyers must be proactive and preorder online, as per the City of Ramsey's official page.

Here's the nitty-gritty: The plastic is all recycled, the rain barrels cost $90 a pop, and they'll hold a solid 45 gallons of H2O. As for the dimensions, we're talking 24 inches across and in width, standing 32 inches tall. If composting is more your style, a $76 investment gets you a bin with a 125-gallon capacity; its dimensions are set at 30 inches high and 33 inches deep. Sustainability warriors, mark your calendars for May 1, and join the eco-revolution.
