Free Composting/ Vermicomposting and Make Your Own Worm Bin Class Saturday in Moreno Valley
Event Details
The Riverside County Department of Waste Resources will host a free backyard composting class and Make Your Own Worm Bin workshop Saturday, January 6, in Moreno Valley.
Learn how to recycle organic resources, such as yard trimmings, as well as fruit and vegetable waste into a dark, crumbly, sweet-smelling soil conditioner. The hands-on class will teach residents how compost can be used to enrich the soil in gardens, lawns and house plants. Instead of putting organic waste into the garbage to be hauled to the landfill, learn to compost.
Residents will then learn how to further breakdown food and yard waste with help from worms, through a process known as vermicomposting. The Vermicomposting and Make Your Own Worm Bin workshop will begin at 10:00 a.m., immediately following the composting class.
The class and workshop are free and will end by 1:00 p.m. Residents can pre-purchase compost bins and worm bin kits using Visa, MasterCard, or Discover by calling department accounting section (951) 486-3200. The classes and workshop will be held outdoors, please dress to accommodate weather and outdoor temperatures. These programs are offered to teach residents about the ease and advantages of organic material recycling and how composting helps preserve valuable space in county landfills.
