A Two-Day Training and a Day of Site Tours Held in New Jersey this September

Due to COVID-19-mandated changes in New Jersey, the originally scheduled Compost Operations Training Course (COTC) was canceled, as is the scheduled COTC for Colorado in November. The good news is that a modified new training was able to be held  September 15-17 in Elizabeth, New Jersey. Compost Manufacturing: Principles and Practices, the latest training course from CCREF, was developed to provide a solid foundation for those who want to expand and refresh their knowledge of the compost production process, from feedstock delivery to product distribution. Designed for those that need an in-depth understanding of the composting process, this is a precursor to the five-day Compost Operations Training Course (COTC).  In New Jersey, this course was a two-day training, offered in-person or live-streamed, and also had an optional third day self-driving tour of four composting facilities. CCREF worked with the support of the New Jersey Composting Council on offering this new training.
