Master Composter Certificate | Course 5: Composting Systems, Tools, and Scales | Virtual Session |

What are the different scales of compost collection and processing systems? What are the basic tools and forms of personal protection often used at composting sites? Discuss the pros and cons of different systems and learn where you can observe these different systems in New York City. Consider what may work best for your community.

This course is one of the required courses for securing a Master Composter certification through the NYC Community Compost Network (formerly NYC Compost Project). This is recommended as the fifth course to take in your path to certification, though you can take the workshops in any order. Please note that in addition to the required workshops, 9 hours of compost-related service learning and 2 field trips to compost-processing sites (of which Snug Harbor is one!). For certification through Snug Harbor, we also require a capstone project, which consists of a five-minute presentation during the last workshop.
