The Peak polled 732 readers and asked the question: Will you separate organics from household garbage when City of Powell River supplies a separate compost bin in March?

The poll ran from 12/29/2023 to 2/21/2024. Of the 732 votes, we can determine that 467 are from within the community. The full results are as follows:

Yes, I'm looking forward to diverting organics from the landfill in Washington State 51.18% local, 50.41% total    
No, I use organics from my household in my own compost 29.55% local, 28.69% total    
No, using two separate bins will be a hassle 19.27% local, 20.90% total
