Event Overview
If you have ever thought about in-home composting, only to label it as too much work or difficulty, this class is for you! We believe that anyone can make the transition into a more sustainable lifestyle and become a successful in-home composter. This one-time information session will include the "Do's" and "Don'ts" of composting, including which materials make great composting material, as well as, how to use your own compost in your personal gardens or yards.
We will teach you the necessary beginning steps of composting that start inside your kitchen, even providing you with an odorless storage bin that can store weekly food and paper waste. Interested in learning about vermi-composting (using red worms to decompose waste)? We got it covered! Let your curiosity of in-home composting flourish as you will learn about recycling your food waste in a practical way to live sustainably and save money!
You can also upgrade your package to receive an additional and larger composting bin that will hold your waste over a longer period of time. Visit our website for more information regarding our larger composting bin and how you can sign up to purchase:
