If you are interested in supporting the development of a DC Region Master Composter Training Program, please contact Bobby Bell at\u00a0info@ilsr.org<\/a>.<\/p>\n

An active Master Composter Training Program is a key component of a successful decentralized community-based composting infrastructure. The Grupo de Trabajo sobre Residuos Org\u00e1nicos de la Regi\u00f3n de la Capital Nacional<\/a> has agreed to support the development of a Master Composter Training Program in the DC Metropolitan Region. ILSR and ECO City Farms are partnering to take the lead in developing this program.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Background<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Task Force agreed to support this Master Composter initiative following its September 24, 2012 meeting, which featured presentations of other model programs from\u00a0New York City, Seattle, and Bernalillo County, New Mexico. Since then, ILSR and ECO City Farms have partnered to develop a project proposal, and have begun to identify the best features of the best programs nationwide. Find presentation documents and links to additional information below.<\/p>\n

September 2012 –<\/strong>\u00a0On September 24, 2012, The National Capital Region Task Force heard presentations from three cities (NYC, Seattle, and Bernalillo Co, NM) to learn more about their existing model Master Composter programs.<\/p>\n
