As Washington works to meet new organics diversion requirements under its Organics Management Law, community-scale systems are emerging as a critical component of a distributed, efficient, and resilient statewide organics infrastructure.

This webinar will feature technical insights from a panel of Washington operators actively advancing community-scale solutions: Al Cairns of Jefferson County, Zoey Gray of Methow Recycles, and Kate Wynne of B2G Compost. They’ll share practical approaches, operational insights, and on-the-ground strategies for building and scaling community-based composting in alignment with new statewide mandates. Brenda Platt of the Institute for Local Self-Reliance (ILSR) will moderate the conversation, tying these Washington examples to broader national trends in decentralized organics recycling.

Join us to connect with peers and learn directly from operators advancing community‑scale composting in Washington. This webinar offers a focused look at how distributed systems can add measurable capacity, boost resilience, and support statewide compliance with Washington’s organics diversion mandates.

Moderated by Brenda Platt of the Institute for Local Self‑Reliance (ILSR), the discussion will connect Washington examples to national trends in decentralized organics recycling.
