Master Composter
The Master Composter Programme was launched in 2003 by Aberdeen Forward to raise awareness of the benefits of composting and to encourage more people to home compost, as well as helping those already doing so to compost more effectively.
The project runs in Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire and provides advice and training to people who are interested in learning more about home composting. We have a pool of volunteers, who give up their time to train and educate the public on home composting through workshops that are regularly run at Aberdeen Forward.
