Free Home Composting Workshop (Online)
November 16, 2021 @ 6:00 pm - 8:00 pm
Do you want to start composting at home? Join us for a no-cost two hour workshop through the County of San Mateo’s Sustainability Academy to learn the basics of starting your own backyard and worm composting systems!
Learn how to turn your food scraps, leaves, and plant cuttings into nutrient-rich compost that helps your garden retain moisture, suppress weeds, and prevent soil erosion, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It is rewarding to know you are turning what some consider organic waste into a nutrient rich organic material for your garden. There will be a demonstration bin complete with live worms!
Admission is free, but space is limited! Priority will be given to those who live, work, and go to school in San Mateo County.
San Mateo County residents will receive a free compost or worm bin and discounts on accessories.
If you have any questions about the compost workshop, please email sustainability@smcgov.org or call 888.442.2666.
