The Lawrence Brook Watershed Partnership is offering an end-of-the-season organic lawn and home cleaning product sale from 10 a.m. to noon each Saturday through November at the group’s headquarters building, 85 Washington Ave., Milltown. All prices have been reduced by 50 percent.
The nonprofit organization, dedicated to the protection of the Lawrence Brook Watershed, seeks to encourage area residents to avoid the use of toxic lawn and garden products and home-cleaning liquids. Data shows that stormwater runoff, contaminated by chemical lawn fertilizers and pesticides, is a significant contributor to the degradation of the quality of the drinking water supply. Lawns and gardens fed with organic fertilizers and insecticides are naturally healthier than those fed with chemicals and are low in phosphate, one of the major contaminants in streams.
Proceeds from the sale are dedicated to the costs of the partnership’s nature walks, bike rides, educational programs, mailings, printing and town cleanups.
Orders may also be placed by calling 732-249-5297 (LBWP).
