Classes Will Get You Started Reduce your waste by 25% and receive other benefits as well.

Worm Composting: the Next Step to Zero-Waste at Home Live in an apartment or don't have room to compost in your backyard? Making dirt, not waste, is easier than you think! Staff from Eureka Recycling will answer your questions about composting with a worm bin, from the nifty-gritty how-to's to the positive impact composting has on global warming! You will receive tips, take home resources and have the opportunity to purchase composting worms to get you started. Class is Tuesday, May 11 at 7:00 p.m. Registration deadline is Friday, May 7. Backyard Composting: the Next Step to Zero-Waste at Home Come learn about the environmental benefits of composting in your backyard and how you can easily reduce waste at home! This workshop has tips for maintaining a healthy compost pile no matter what type of composter you are. Composting food scraps, grass and leaves in your backyard is one of the easiest things you can do to reduce your carbon footprint and save energy. In addition you end up with a great soil supplement for the plants in your yard. This workshop will provide you with everything you need to get started. Class is Tuesday, May 18 at 7:00 p.m. Registration deadline is Friday, May 14. Classes are $50 each and include either a backyard compost bin or a pound of worms and the book Worms Eat My Garbage. Classes meet at Roseville City Hall, 2660 Civic Center Drive. Preregistration and a $5 down payment are required. Call 651-792-7027 for more information or to register. 1
