Date: Tuesday, March 26, 2013
Time: 10:00 – 11:30 AM EDT
Presenters:
Athena Lee Bradley, Northeast Recycling Council, Inc.

Who should participate in the Webinar?
Local officials, solid waste staff and environmental commission members, solid waste district staff, others interested in the management of organic materials in their community.
Why participate?
Rural and small town communities have low population densities, limited resources and available finances, and may be particularly impacted by issues and regulations governing burning of wastes, waste diversion goals, and proper organics waste management. Rural and small town governing bodies frequently do not have the expertise on staff to effectively managing organic wastes. Thus, information about best management practices in organics is especially useful to rural government officials, community leaders, solid waste staff, and others.
NERC’s Organics Management Project is funded through a USDA grant.
