Backyard Composting Education Program

CS SheppardBackyard composting is a great way to divert leaves and grass clippings from the local landfill. Composting is pretty simple once the basics are understood and applied.

The Environmental Department and the Extension office have partnered to bring you the opportunity to attend a backyard compost training. With funding from the America Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) the backyard compost trainings are being offered for free.
