Free Composting Workshops!

The City of Philadelphia offers two different types of composting workshops.

Choose from a one-hour composting workshop that covers the basics of composting.

Or, take a two-hour Recycling Through Composting workshop.

Upcoming One-hour Composting Workshops:

Call Philadelphia County Cooperative Extension to register for this free program.

Pre-registration is required! Call 215-471-2200

Upcoming Recycling Through Composting Workshops:

Residents interested in attending a compost-training workshop must pre-register.

Call (215) 686-5444, extension 2.

Anyone is welcome to attend as a guest and receive training and a manual, but only pre-registered Philadelphia residents presenting appropriate identification will be eligible to receive a back yard composter. If demand exceeds supply, priority will be given to the earliest registrants; the date on which the workshop is held does not affect availability.
