Midwest Kickoffs and Training in Nebraska and Iowa

USCC Education Director Cary Oshins spent time in June in both Nebraska and Iowa educating and training compost operators and partaking in compost facility tours. The Nebraska event was part of the kickoff of our new Nebraska chapter and USCC member, the Nebraska Recycling Council. The Council organized the event, and Oshins was a key speaker to the group. The Iowa Compost Operator Training, attended by 34 Iowans, was organized and funded by the Iowa Waste Reduction Center, a USCC member, and included tours and a one-day Composting Council Research and Education Foundation training.
