*Green Waste Composting One Day Workshops*

* *

The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Solid Waste Permitting and Corrective Action Program is excited to announce Mark King, Director of the Maine Compost School, will be conducting two one-day green/food waste composting workshops in Wyoming. The Maine Compost School is the longest continually running compost school in the nation. Founded in 1997, the Maine Compost School was formed to help address an industry need that seemed unfulfilled—simply put, people wanted to compost, but they didn’t have the knowledge base necessary to succeed at it. The school has graduated over 800 students from over 40 countries. Demand for the program has taken the school far beyond the borders of Maine to North Carolina, California, Melbourne Australia, and now Wyoming. Thanks to the Association of State and Territorial Solid Waste Management Officials (ASTSWMO) and the Wyoming Solid Waste and Recycling Association (WSWRA) sponsorship, we are able to offer this Workshop at no cost to attendees. Please join us for this *FREE* once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to learn how to compost from the Director of the Maine Compost School.
