Are you looking to learn from peers in the field, wanting to share your experiences, or having challenges of your own? In 2022, NJCC’s Education Committee is offering quarterly calls to encourage networking, provide a platform for composting discussion, and pave the way for additional collaboration: The Compost Cafe  

Our First Compost Café followed our annual member meeting which was a chance to hear from the NJCC Management team and for our members to officially vote on board members. And our second cafe featured a great discussion on Residential Food Scraps collection/drop off Access. 

Join us March 10th at 4 pm to share your knowledge, voice your interests, and brainstorm solutions.  

All are invited, including members and prospective members. Register today!  

Additional calls will be hosted in May, August, and November.

 The NJCC hosted a fantastic course on on learning the fundamentals of ASP (Aerated Static Pile) Composting.  Instructed by Peter Moon a 30 year industry expert the course featured over 7 hours of fantastic material.

ASP/EASP (extended ASP) composting is one of the foremost technologies touted to reduce organics recycling costs, and improve your processing times and capabilities. This course, designed for Farmers, Compost Operators, municipalities, consultants and more will allow you to understand if ASP is for you, how it works and what you need to do to either get started or improve your current processes. Including a hands on site- demonstration.

 What does it mean for composters to render cannabis unusable?
Half the country has legal cannabis in some form, but NJ officially legalized recreational use just weeks ago. That means we're likely to see a big uptake in organic waste. Whether you're in NJ or anywhere in the world we hope you'll join us to explore this topic. 

• What does it mean for Cannabis producers handling new volumes of material?
• What challenges are there for making sure the excess is handled in a sustainable manner?
• How can we take advantage of this new opportunity responsibly? 

Our experts will cover these questions and many more!  

Didn't get a chance to view the webinar? get in touch and let us know. 

Our Spring Meeting was March 3rd at 5pm! Thanks for joining us! 

Open to all, this VIRTUAL meeting will feature a short special presentation on key tax and financial considerations for organics recycling projects and Carbon Credits from Michael A. Recchia, Esq., CPA and Brian Teaff of Bracewell LLP. Carbon Credits are something organics recyclers and municipalities either are taking advantage of, can take advantage of or need to be aware of, so we hope you'll join us.

We'll also do some networking and provide updates on the latest on the NJCC and composting in NJ.
