As part of Compost Awareness Week, the University of Georgia will
host a Compost Open House at the Bioconversion Center May 4.

The open house is for community leaders, municipal solid waste
directors, recycling coordinators or anyone interested in
composting.

There will be displays on home composting, composting yard waste,
municipal solid waste, food waste composting, agricultural
by-products, construction and demolition recycling.

Hourly Miniworkshops

From 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., the event will include hourly
miniworkshops on home composting, poultry mortality composting,
using compost for erosion control and compost facility design.
There will be machinery demonstrations, too, including grinders
and windrow turners.

So come. Ask the experts. Find out how composting can work for
your garden, your community or your business. For more
