Got scraps?
The City of Durango is offering discounted compost service for income-qualified residents. Residents who complete an application and are approved for the Food Tax Rebate or Utility Refund (or both) will be automatically approved for discounted curbside compost collection from Table to Farm Compost. Once approved, residents can sign up for service directly through Table to Farm, www.tabletofarmcompost.com, and enter a discount code. The program covers 90% of the cost of curbside collection (currently about $28).
The program applies to individuals making less than $38,700; couples making less than $44,200; families of three making less than $49, 750; or families or four making less than $55,520.
During a recent composting pilot program, cost for low-income residents was identified as a challenge.
Applications for the utility refund and food tax rebate programs are due July 7 at: tinyurl.com/36veuj7n

Speaking of, uh, sacks, don’t look now, but the Speedo is back. For men. We told you not to look. According to an article by Max Berlinger in the New York Times, skimpy swimsuits for men – which they refer to as “briefs” rather than the brand name Speedo or the more crude “banana hammock” or “mankini” – are making a splash this summer.
