On-Line Composting Course
Welcome to the University of California Cooperative Extension (UCCE) Placer County On-Line Course on Composting. The UCCE is a land-grant university whose mission is to develop, extend, and bring about the use of research-based knowledge to improve specific practices and technologies. This course is funded under the Composting Education Project by the Western Placer Waste Management Authority.
In our on-line classroom, you will become acquainted with the basic principles of composting. The goal of the course is to provide you with information and resources to efficiently manage your organic waste. There is no charge to take the course, but students as well as "browsers" are encouraged to share this information with others.
