   FREE Composting Workshops

The Monterey Regional Waste Management District offers composting workshops to its district residents so they can learn how to use their own yard trimmings and kitchen scraps to make compost at home. 

Each workshop is led by experienced gardeners and a Master Composter.

You can learn how to successfully mix grass clippings, leaves, yard trimmings and kitchen scraps so that they will break down into a dark, nutrient rich soil amendment called compost. You can also learn more about other recycling alternatives and why the district promotes home composting.
