Technical Assistance & Training Food Scrap Composters

In support of Vermont’s Universal Recycling Law, the VT Agency of Natural Resources (ANR) is offering training, a new set of comprehensive resources, and expert assistance to composters across the state. On September 25, the 2015 Vermont Compost Operator Certification Training will be held in Williston. Through this all day workshop, participants will receive a Compost Operator Certificate, which meets the requirements of ANR for small, medium and large compost facility site operators. Current or future compost site operators will be certified to manage composting facilities handling food scraps or mortalities in Vermont. All interested parties are encouraged to register. There are limited spots, so current and future compost site operators in Vermont will be given priority. Additional technical assistance is available to eligible food scrap composters on an ongoing basis and the recently updated set of composter resources will be available this fall on ANR’s Website.
