In an effort to bolster composting and reduce waste, the Vermont Organics Recycling Summit(VORS) will bring together industry leaders with learners from April 29 to May 3, 2024. Summit attendees will discuss creative ways to keep food and other organics out of the trash and transform them into valuable products.

Beginning on Monday, April 29, 2024, the Summit will kick off with in person and hybrid sessions in Waterbury at the Sally Fox Conference Center at the Waterbury State Office Complex. The remainder of the week will include a series of free virtual sessions through Friday, May 3, 2024. VORS is organized by the Composting Association of Vermont (CAV) and the Vermont Department of Environmental Conservation(DEC).

This year's theme "Compost...Nature's Climate Champion" spotlights compost's many roles in climate change adaptation, including capturing carbon in the soil, enhancing soil health, supporting sustainable agriculture, nurturing biodiversity, and more.
