October Compost Workshops Available
One out of six South Carolinians are food insecure, yet food waste is the single largest component sent to landfills. In 2013, food waste accounted for 21 percent (35.2 million tons) of the nation's waste. Don't Waste Food SC is working toward a goal of reducing food waste in the state by 50 percent by 2030. Please consider attending one of these composting workshops.
