Hello Composting Advocates!

Restoration Soils invites you to an open house to tour our industrial composting facility next Wednesday, January 29th from 3-4 pm at 2661 N El Paso Drive.  Our thermophilic facility is the first permitted operation in northern Arizona and we are excited to show you the progress we have made in building a more circular waste stream and producing nutrient rich compost and soil amendments. Feel free to come out to the Restoration Soils site anytime between 3-4 pm. 
 
As the new Community Compost Coordinator for Restoration Soils working on residential/commercial compost pickup programs, grants, community outreach, and social networking, our team looks forward to seeing you next week. Please RSVP if you know you will be able to attend.
