Riverside County Waste Department Class on Building Worm Bin Helps Composters

Riverside County residents who want to find a new way to compost their food waste into nutrient rich amendment for your garden have a solution! Learn to put worms to work through a composting method called vermicomposting – the process of using worms and associated organisms to break down organic waste into material containing nutrients for plant growth. Volunteer master composters will offer a special presentation on vermicomposting to teach county residents how to set up, build, care for, and harvest castings and worms. Adult county residents interested in the Make Your Own Worm Bin workshop must register for the 28 available seats. Participants will be provided with a short list of class materials that will cost no more than $15. Tools for building a worm bin will be available for use at the workshop, along with enough worms to get your bin started. The class is free and will be held on June 13 at 1 p.m. at the Riverside County Department of Waste Resources, 14310 Frederick St. in Moreno Valley, and will last about two to three hours. The class is offered to increase the awareness about organic material recycling and how composting can help preserve valuable space in county landfills. The backyard composting program, which started in 1993, has held over 500 compost workshops and offers low-cost compost bins subsidized by the department. Interest in vermicomposting has increased and this workshop will be a good opportunity to participate in a hands-on class to explore vermicomposting and take home an inexpensive working worm bin.
