Upcoming workshops will show Middlesex County residents how to cut down on trash and create a natural gardening resource by using yard waste and kitchen scraps as compost.
Two free seminars are scheduled to be held at the Middlesex County EARTH Center in Davidson’s Mill Pond Park, 42 Riva Ave., South Brunswick. Classes run about two hours and feature an overview and explanation of two composting techniques: backyard composting at 10 a.m. on April 15 or vermi-composting using worms at 6:30 p.m. on April 18.
To register, call the Middlesex County Division of Solid Waste Management at 732-745-4170 or email solidwaste@co.middlesex.nj.us.
Workshop attendees may also pick up pre-purchased compost bins at the workshops. Call the Division of Solid Waste before the workshop for a list of available compost bins.
