Composting, the Law and everything compostable with Cassandra Hemenway

Ready to get started composting? OR -- would you like to get some ideas for how to re-start your old compost system? The Central Vermont Solid Waste Management District is bringing a free backyard compost workshop to the North Branch Nature Center at 713 Elm Street in Montpelier on Saturday, May 26, from 10 am - noon.

This workshop is filling up, so please register here: http://www.cvswmd.org/program-registration.html

We'll talk about how to get started, how to keep smells and animals away; we'll review a variety of different composting systems for different situations; Vermont's Universal Recycling Law and its landfill ban on food scraps starting in 2020; and we'll provide backyard compost bins for sale at half-price ($25 each). Half-priced bins are available, one-per household to workshop attendees only, only for the day of the workshop.

We will also raffle off a Green Cone, and each workshop participant will leave with a "starter kit" kitchen counter food scrap pail and a booklet about how to compost.

Pre-register now: http://www.cvswmd.org/program-registration.html

Call 802-229-9383 x102 with any questions.
