WYOMING – The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) Solid Waste Permitting and Corrective Action Program is hosting three Dead Animal Compost Seminars, to be held on May 3 in Moorcroft with additional seminars offered May 4 in Torrington, and May 8 in Cody.

Each seminar will begin at 10 a.m. and will conclude before 2:30 p.m. Lunch will be on your own.

During each seminar, Caitlin Youngquist with the University of Wyoming Washakie County Extension Office will provide participants with the basics of how to successfully compost whole animals, offal or viscera. DEQ will also discuss solid waste permitting requirements and funding opportunities. In the afternoon participants will gain hands-on experience constructing a compost windrow.

Please join us in person to take part in these unique hands-on training opportunities. A virtual option will be available for the classroom portion. Registration is required.
