Mecklenburg County's Master Composters Training Program
Our mission is to educate the public about Mecklenburg County's efforts to reduce residential waste.
Congratulations to the Spring 2012 Master Composter Graduates!
The class celebrated this momentous event with a burrito breakfast and a tour of Compost Central! There was much joy and laughter as the new Master Composters reflected upon their training experience sharing insight on the things they learned and shared as a group.

So what is the Mecklenburg County Master Compost Training Program?
It is a free 40 hour training program that is open to the residents of Mecklenburg County. Applicants must have completed the County's Basic Home Composting Workshop and/or have a working knowledge of composting. In return for the training, students are required to give back 40 hours of volunteer time to the Organics Waste Reduction Program and its projects. Past projects have included developing a school compost garden, and providing under-served neighborhoods with residential recycling training. The classes meet weekly at various locations throughout the County.
