Across the United States and around the world, composting advocates will be encouraging everyone to use compost and recycle their organics during ICAW, May 1 - 7, 2022. Those who believe in the “Compost Message” will be planning events in their community to promote the value of compost. All types of composting - from “do it yourself” composting in your backyard to large-scale community-wide composting - are promoted during the week.
