On September 15th at 6:30 pm, the Southern Windsor/Windham Counties Solid Waste Management District, the CCCA, and the Town of Cavendish will host a workshop specifically about composting. It will be held at the Cavendish Town Office, 37 High Street in Cavendish. Ham Gillett will address the aspects of Vermont Act 148 on recycling and the composting. Pete LaBelle will join with Ham to discuss the basics of home composting and the other options available in order to comply with the law to keep food scraps out of your trash. The presentation will last about 45 minutes with plenty of time afterwards for questions about composting.

As a bonus, all attendees will be eligible to win the door prize of a new Soil Saver composter and may order residential composters for $65. Exact change or check required; no credit cards. A second drawing will be held for a compost pail, good for kitchen use to gather scraps bound for the composter. These pails will also be for sale for $5 each. Residents of Cavendish and any other town are invited to attend. To sign up for the workshop, or for more information, please email cavendishcommunityconservation@gmail.com.
