School Gardens & Composting

School gardens and on-site composting programs provide great opportunities to familiarize students with the natural composting process. Composting, a natural method of recycling organic waste, saves valuable landfill space, preserves natural resources and creates a nutrient-rich soil amendment while supporting Charleston County's 40% recycling goal.

Free compost is available from Charleston County for all Charleston County Schools with gardens. For more information, please call (843) 720-7111.
