*International CompostAwareness Week*

International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) 2024 is next week!!! From May
5th to 11th, 2024, join us and the Oklahoma Compost and Sustainability
Association (OCASA) in celebrating the largest and most extensive education
initiative of the compost industry.

ICAW is a global event celebrated annually during the first full week of
May, aimed at raising public awareness about the importance of composting
organics and utilizing compost to nurture healthier soil. It is a week of
engaging events held worldwide.

In Oklahoma, we got Proclamations from the State of Oklahoma, the City of
Norman, the City of Tulsa, and the City of Oklahoma City acknowledging
International Compost Awareness Week!!! We're excited to host a series of
events that promote composting in all its forms, which you can sign up for
