Backyard Composting Workshops

It’s Time to Compost!

Are you unsure what to do with your kitchen, garden, and yard scraps? Would you like natural, home-made compost for your lawns and gardens in the spring? Then you can expand your recycling efforts to include kitchen scraps and yard debris by signing up for a Backyard Composting Workshop to turn your yard waste and food scraps into a valuable resource for your garden.

Attendees of in-person workshops will take their compost bin home following the class. Attendees of online webinars will pick up their compost bin in either Pittsburgh/Allegheny County or Media/Delaware County (your choice) after the webinar.
