Free Composting Seminar Coming to a Community Near You


We like to mix it up here at the District. Try new programs, throw ideas out there, and see what sticks. This spring we will go on a composting lecture road show of sorts, around Hamilton County.

Composting newbies and more seasoned veterans should both find useful information to get the most out of your backyard compost bin. During the one hour seminar we will discuss how to balance a compost bin, what materials are compostable, and some troubleshooting tips and tricks.

There will also be time to answer your burning composting questions (hopefully not actually burning, but we can answer that too).

At the end of the hour, you will receive a free kitchen collector, a “I heart compost” magnet, a simple guide to composting in your backyard, as well as a $20 coupon redeemable at partnering stores toward the purchase of a compost bin. Pretty good deal if you ask me.

Call 946-7734 or email susan.schumacher@hamilton-co.org to register. Space is limited. Coupons available to Hamilton County residents only.
