With your support, the MNCC will continue to
  • Expand training and webinars for composters, educators and compost users
  • Advance industry research and development through the Kevin Tritz Memorial Fund
  • Push legislative priorities and advocacy efforts for the industry like:
    • Compostable Product Labeling Bill introduced in the 2021 session
    • Comments to the MPCA draft PFAS Monitoring Plan
  • Help close the loop and get compost back to residents through our community fundraiser Plate to Garden Compost program
  • Address issues affecting the industry
  • Increase knowledge, awareness and use of compost by everyone including residents, gardeners, landscape architects, and engineers
  • Compile and share research, best practices, and educational materials for collection programs, composting operations and compost use

Schedule your 2023 Plate to Garden Compost event

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! A great time to prepare your lawn and garden for the season - and a great time to add compost!
