Plate to Garden events are great opportunities to support the composting industry by getting compost out to residents. It's also a great fundraiser for community groups!
Applying compost in the fall is equally as beneficial for your lawn and garden as applying compost in the spring. Visit the MNCC Plate to Garden page for more information on Plate to Garden events. And if fall isn't an option for your group, start planning for a spring event! Keep in mind that International Compost Awareness Week is the first full week of May each year!

Compostable Products Legislation
During the 2021 legislative session the MNCC worked with legislators, composters, product manufacturers, local units of government and the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA) to amend MN Stat. 325E.046 Standards for Labeling Plastics Bags to apply to food service products and other packaging claiming compostability. The bill was introduced this year but unfortunately, it did not pass. However, the bill carry's over to the 2022 legislative session and plans are being made to talk with those opposed to the bill to agree on language that resolves their issues.
