Composting Classes To Be Offered In Monroe County All Summer

The Monroe County Municipal Waste Management Authority in conjunction with Penn State Cooperative Extension will hold composting classes throughout the summer on the second Saturday of each month from June through September.
            A certified Master Gardener will speak about residential composting.  The classes will start at 9 a.m. and last approximately 90 minutes.  
            Why spend money on potting soil, fertilizers, and other items for your garden when you can make your own for free, by composting waste you already have? Turn your scraps into rich soil for planting.  Composting is a great way to recycle your fruit and vegetables scraps, coffee grounds, egg shells, grass clippings, leaves and much, much more.
            In order to participate, you must register with the waste authority.  All classes will be held in Blakeslee.  Anyone interested in registering for classes is asked to call 570-643-6100.  Classes are limited to 20 people, and will fill up quickly.  
            For more information, visit the Monroe Waste Authority website.
