Save the Date! MNCC Presents:
"Compost Use by Local Government: Policies and Projects"
What: Join the MNCC for a webinar on how to help complete the recycling loop by using more compost in city projects.
When: December 3, 2020, 2:00-4:00 pm
Where: Zoom
Cost: $0
Speakers: Greg Thompson, City of Eagan
Kala Fisher, Solid Waste Manager & Joe Shamala, Engineer, St. Louis Park
Chuck Joswiak, Sales and Marketing Director, SET
Description:
As cities set up food scraps collection programs, greater quantities of compost are available to be used in projects. There is an urgency to increase markets for quality food waste compost, and municipalities can play an important role by specifying food-derived compost in their projects, closing the recycling loop.
Learn firsthand from city leaders how they developed policies and procedures to use compost on city projects, and learn from city engineers how to select quality compost and successfully use compost in city projects. Our speakers will also cover why it's cost-efficient and effective to use compost on city and county projects.
The presentation will detail procedures and policies two cities implemented to begin using food waste compost and will demonstrate the use, feasibility, and benefits of using food-derived compost in landscaping, watershed and construction projects.
Details on how to sign up will be made available in early November.
This webinar will be the first in a series of three.
