Are you confused about composting? Want to get started, but not sure what type of bin to get, or how to manage it?
If so, we can help. Hamilton County Environmental Services–Solid Waste Management District (District) and the American Compost Society have partnered with several organizations to establish compost demonstration areas. Each location has several different types of working compost bins and offer educational workshops.
