Composting in Your Back Yard

Vermont law bans food scraps from the landfill by July 1, 2020. There are a variety of ways to keep your food scraps out of the trash, but composting is one of the least expensive and most rewarding, especially if you will use it as a soil ammendment for your lawn or garden.
To get started quickly, you can purchase a pre-made Soil Saver compost bin, or Green Cone in-ground digester from CVSWMD at-cost. It's also inexpensive to build your own system. Scroll down for tips, guides and DIY bin plans.
Never composted before? Download our Dirt on Composting booklet to get started, or join us at one of our free compost webinars.
