Master Plan Logo
The Solid Waste Services Integrated Master Plan outlines specific steps
required to reach the City's Zero Waste Goal.

Free Composting Class November 17, 2009
Waste Less. Compost More.

Composting is one way to help you throw away less materials while turning kitchen scraps and yard waste into a rich organic fertilizer. Not only does this benefit you, it helps the City work toward their Zero Waste goal. This Free Composting Class will be held Tuesday, November 17 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. at the Virginia L. Brown Recreation Center. Registration is required. Please call Jess Guffey at 236-0074 x105 or email jess@sustainablefoodcenter.org to register or for further information.

Race to Zero Waste
