Backyard Composting Basics - perfect for new composters, as well as composting veterans who are having problems to troubleshoot; we'll review how to keep smells and animals away, and compost successfully! Participants can purchase a Soil Saver composter a deeply discounted rate. 

Recycle Right: Learn to make your efforts count, and recycle right. We'll cover the basics of the mandated six materials that must be recycled in Vermont, plus go into detail about hard to recycle items, and discuss ways to reduce your waste in the first place. 

New in 2020: Don't Flush That: what should not go down the drain! Learn to avoid using toxic materials in the first place and what to do with those you already have on hand. We will emphasize appropriate collection points for expired medications, household hazardous wastes such as cleaners and automotive fluids, and the array of “universal waste” that can be properly recycled for free throughout Vermont (paint, batteries, fluorescent bulbs, e-waste & mercury containing devices).
