SC Regulation 61-107.4 Solid Waste Management: Compost and Mulch Production from Land-Clearing Debris, Yard Trimmings, and Organic Residuals requires that within 18 months of the effective date of this regulation (i.e. December 2015), all permitted Type Two and Type Three facilities are required to have one or more employees with compost manager certification. Operators who achieve and maintain compost manager certification by the Nationally Recognized Solid Waste Association of North America (SWANA) certification program shall also be deemed certified by SCDHEC. 

This SCDHEC certified and nationally recognized certification in Managing Composting Programs is being held at the Holiday Inn at Surfside Beach and at the Horry County Solid Waste Authority Facility! 

So plan to sign up now for the SC SWANA’s Compost Training being held October 20-24 in Surfside Beach, SC.
