Master Composters

Master Composters are volunteers who encourage others to take up home composting and support those who need a little composting help and advice.
 
Worcestershire County Council and Herefordshire Council in association with Garden Organic have so far trained 94 volunteers to promote the benefits of home composting since April 2006.

Master Composters do this by attending local events and shows, giving talks, writing articles, providing composting demonstrations, talking to friends and neighbours, helping local schools and generally spreading the word about home composting; enthusing new composters and providing support and advice to existing composters.

The Master Composters Programme is making a massive contribution towards home composting throughout Herefordshire and Worcestershire and we are always looking for more people to join the team.

Our existing volunteers are an enthusiastic and motivated team, who are doing a fantastic job in promoting home composting. Becoming a Master Composter is a great way to meet new people, learn valuable skills and benefit from being part of a team that makes a difference.

Volunteers will be given full training in home composting and other related environmental issues. They will be expected to contribute a minimum of 30 hours over 12 months. Travel expenses will be paid.
