Free Home Composting Classes!
Everything you ever wanted to know about composting but didn't know who to ask...
Composting is a natural, simple way to create less waste and, as a bonus, improves the quality of your garden. But many folks are worried that it's too complicated or will cause a nuisance, and others may have not had much success with past attempts because they didn't know the basic rules for successful composting. We're here to help!
We offer free composting classes every spring. Our fun, free classes discuss the art and science of composting and boil it all down to what you need to know to create a simple system that works for your household.
Classes are held at the DSWM Reichs Ford Road facility and include a tour. The program is free, but advance registration is required as space is limited.
To inquire about planned class dates or to set up a custom program for your community group, please email
