Training on offer for keen composters

People with an interest in home composting and the environment are being invited to join an exclusive club.  A free training course is being laid on that is the first step on the road to becoming one of Shropshire’s ‘Master Composters’.

The free two-day training course will take place on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th April and there are still places available.  Its being arranged by Shropshire Council with support from Veolia Environmental Services, Telford & Wrekin Council and Garden Organic.

On completion of the course volunteers will be expected to complete at least 30 hours volunteering after which they will graduate as a fully fledged ‘Master Composter’.  Master Composters help promote home composting in their communities through talks, roadshows, promotional activities and acting as community champions for waste reduction.




For more information about the training taking place this year, please contact James at Shropshire Council on 01743 255989.
