The Organics Committee of the Professional Recyclers of Pennsylvania will meet at Allegheny College in Meadville October 2 to hear presentations on organics and climate change and college sustainability efforts.

The agenda includes presentations with the theme of “pressure on carbon resource” covering woodchips and other biomass, switch grass and putting carbon back into the soil.

Representatives of Allegheny College will talk about their sustainability efforts, including composting food waste and other initiatives.

The meeting will start at 9:30 in the Tillotson Room in Tippie Alumni Center, North Main St., Meadville.
