Turning Garbage Into Gold

If you've ever wanted to compost, but feared the smell, or the flies you might attract, tonight's your night for a little easy - and free - education.

Two City of Millbrae programs - Recycling & Waste Prevention, and Water Resources and Conservation - and the county's Recycleworks program will teach you the basics of composting for your backyard, and likely save you a lot of money in the process.

The workshop will cover backyard composting, worm composting and organic gardening techniques.

You'll learn how to turn your fruit and vegetable scraps, leaves, plant cuttings and grass into compost that will enrich your garden soil.

The workshop will be led by certified master composter/organic gardeners.

Reservations for tonight's session are not necessary but encouraged so you can be contacted in case the class is canceled.

The workshop runs from 7:00 - 9:00 p.m., and will be held at the Millbrae Library at 1 Library Avenue.

To reserve a space in the workshop or for more information, you can call 1-650-259-2339, or email info@RecycleWorks.org.
