Composting Workshop
June 2, 2018 @ 10:00 am - 11:00 am
Free one-hour Backyard Composting Workshop, Saturday, June 2, 2018 at 10am. Back by popular demand! The Green Team is happy to invite Rutherford resident Brian Hanson-Harding, author of Composting: Turn Food Waste into Rich Soil, to explain the do’s and don’t’s of backyard composting, explaining how to turn kitchen scraps, yard waste, paper, cardboard, and a number of other waste items into rich brown compost that will enhance garden soil and reduce landfill waste. He will demonstrate how the garden’s own composter works and will distribute informational handouts. He will also explain how to compost indoors and will have an indoor composting system on display.
Rain date Sunday, June 3, 2018.
The Borough will have on hand a supply of its backyard composters that it sells at the discounted price of $40. Rutherford residents interested in purchasing one of the limited supply may do so by bringing a check to the workshop. They can either take it home that day or the Borough will deliver them during the following week.
