At the 2019 Vermont Organics Recycling Summit on April 11 in Randolph, leaders and learners from across the state will come together to discuss creative ways to keep food scraps and other organics out of the trash and to transform them into valuable products. The summit, organized by the Composting Association of Vermont (CAV) and the Vermont Agency of Natural Resources, is open to all.
Motivated by these benefits and the Universal Recycling law, which bans food scraps from the landfill in 2020, Vermonters are making a difference as they reduce food waste, partner with food shelves and businesses, and use compost to build healthier soils and more resilient communities.
The summit aims to help Vermonters and regional partners meet the State’s composting goals: to keep organics out of landfills and to rescue perfectly good food before it’s thrown away. Sessions will highlight composting products that manage stormwater, organics hauling, promising new research, climate change effects, and outreach models to help communities and residents. We’re especially excited to hear Frank Franciosi, Executive Director of the US Composting Council, give this year’s keynote presentation. This year also includes a special Community Composting workshop.”
