Continuing our emphasis on the environment, we have two guests for this meeting who will bring their expertise on recycling and composting. Steve Steuber is recently retired from his job with Environmental Services for Scott County, and he loves to “talk trash”! Steve will talk about the Do’s and Don’ts of recycling, about goals for recycling, and more.
Jake Duame is with The Mulch Store, and will talk about composting. What materials are compostable? What’s the difference between commercial composting and backyard composting? What are some troubleshooting techniques for composting? What are some of the new compostable products on the market and how should they be handled? How is finished compost tested? Jake has a degree in Natural Resources–Waste Management. He provides outreach and education to waste generators, haulers, and the public through his work with The Mulch Store.
