City of Sacramento Free Composting Workshops

Here is a listing of the free compost workshops the City of Sacramento hosts every year!

Learn how to turn yard waste into compost and improve the health of your soil! These free seminars include a how-to lesson, a special compost recipe and the ability to purchase a Biostack compost bin for $65 (retails for $129).
