Free Home Composting Workshop

Do you want to start composting at home? Join us for a no-cost two hour workshop through the County of San Mateo's Sustainability Academy to learn the basics of starting your own backyard and worm composting systems!

Learn how to turn your food scraps, leaves, and plant cuttings into nutrient-rich compost that helps your garden retain moisture, suppress weeds, and prevent soil erosion, while cutting greenhouse gas emissions. It is rewarding to know you are turning what some consider organic waste into a nutrient rich organic material for your garden.

This workshop is for people who live or work in San Mateo County. San Mateo County residents will receive a free compost or worm bin and discounts on accessories.

Please bring a chair, sunscreen, hat, and layers since this will be outside in a garden.

If you have any questions about the compost workshop, please email [email protected] or call 888.442.2666.

Stay for the Fallfest from 2-5 after!
