St. Pete Residents Can Learn How to Compost, Get Free Compost Bin at Newly-Scheduled Workshops

March 25, 2026 - Residents are invited to attend free educational workshops to learn about residential composting and obtain a free compost bin from the City of St. Petersburg. St. Pete's Composting Program aims to help single-family residential customers minimize their environmental impact by turning kitchen and yard waste into usable, nutrient-rich fertilizer.

Workshop dates have been added through 2027 and are free to attend with prior registration. Workshop dates and registration can be found at https://www.stpete.org/Composting.

Upon completion of an in-person workshop, residents will receive a free compost bin to take home. Attendees can expect to learn about the composting process, what items can be composted, and receive resources to be more successful in composting.

Residents with questions about the workshops can email [email protected].

More sustainable practices for residents, like recycling, solar panels, and water conservation can be found at www.stpete.org/Sustainability.
