Have you ever thought about what happens to your recyclables after they leave the curb? Maybe were confused about why you can’t put everything with a recycling symbol in your blue bin? Have you ever wondered what the heck is up with composting?

Please join us as Casi Lohmeyer, Buncombe County’s Recycling Coordinator, presents a free program on all things recycling and composting in Buncombe County. Casi will talk about the general recycling process, what that looks like in Buncombe County specifically, why it’s important to recycle right, and recycling resources for your community. She will also explain the composting process, what composting opportunities there are in the County, and how to get materials to start your own composting program in your home, school or office. This program is free and everyone is invited.
