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 register for the workshop, but your plans change, please contact the Sustainability Coordinator below to deregister from the workshop, so that those on the wait list can attend. Please bring a chair or blanket to sit on.  If it rains, the workshop will be held at the Recreation Center located in City Hall’s parking lot at 623 Magnolia Avenue.  Masks will be required inside. If you have any questions about the compost workshop, please email [email protected] or call 888.442.2666.
