Workshop Descriptions

Recycle Right! From Blue Bin to Beyond 
If you've ever wondered what really happens after recyclables leave your home, we'll tell you, and you'll learn what you can do to ensure your materials make it through the whole process to be remanufactured. Come learn what goes in and what stays OUT of your recycling bin, and what “additional” recycling is and how to do it right and how to avoid “wish cycling.”
 
Backyard Compost Basics
This workshop will show you some easy ways to get started composting and do it successfully, and we’ll review other ways to keep your food scraps out of the trash. You’ll learn strategies for jump-starting an old pile, and how to keep smells down, and animals out. We'll also review Vermont's food scrap ban from the landfill, and other options for managing food scraps in addition to home composting.
