Master Composters are enthusiastic community
volunteers that are committed to promoting
responsible composting in Tompkins County. The
training program covers all aspects of
composting, including the basic science,
systems and methods for indoor and outdoor
composting, troubleshooting, how to assess and

methods. Following completion of the training
