Field trips to Agromin composting facilities (grades 2 and up) allow students to see first-hand how leaves, grass clippings and other organic materials are cleaned, chopped and naturally composted.
Children leave with a better understanding of the importance of organics recycling and how it helps our planet. Plus, they become enthusiastic organic recycling advocates.

Agromin representatives are available for in classroom discussions about the environmental value of recycling organic materials.
