Master Composting Program by the San Diego Solid Waste Management
Department, is people-powered by The Master Composters, a group of
volunteers who have undergone an extensive training class in all
aspects of the composting process, and then use that information to
teach others how to turn their organic wastes into a perfect soil
amendment.
Master Composters receive:
1. Extensive training and background material in composting and other alternatives to organics disposal which they can use in their own residence;
2. Additional "continuing education" through semi-regular meetings, field trips, and interaction with others who have different expertise;
3. Experience in speaking to and interacting with groups and individuals with whom they have common interests;
4. Satisfaction in knowing that they are doing their part to alleviate part of the ever-increasing landfill problem
