The Department is announcing a morning presentation of Core 1, Transfer Station Operations. This will use a PowerPoint slide presentation to lead participants through a discussion of how to operate a transfer facility and provide an opportunity to learn from others’ successes and mistakes. Afternoon sessions will include Core 2: Reporting Requirements focusing on the type of data that needs to be tracked plus a brief discussion of the operations manual, and Elective Session #4 – Composting. Mark King will present how to compost with a brief mention of marine mammal composting. This will be a combined one-day workshop for municipal transfer station operators, commercial operators, selectmen, town managers, and others interested. Core 1 will be offered in the morning from 8:30AM to noon, and Core 2 and Elective 4 will be offered in the afternoon from 1PM until 4PM. Attendees may register for either or all courses. Those planning to attend the afternoon session only should plan to arrive at approximately 12:45 PM.
