Do you think making compost out of your yard waste is complicated?

Join Dale Armstrong, FYN Coordinator, for this informative workshop to learn how easy it can be. Just add your kitchen scraps to leaves, yard clippings, etc. and compost happens! Adding compost to Florida’s sandy soil provides much-needed organic material and nutrients while improving its water-holding capacity. Recycling your yard waste by turning it into compost rather than sending it to the landfill is a sustainable practice!

To get you started, attendees will receive one compost bin per household courtesy of Pinellas County Utilities Solid Waste Operations Department.
