The Department of Environmental Quality (DEQ) is organizing two Animal Mortality Composting
Seminars to be held on May 26th in Sundance and June 1st in Bridger Valley. With landfills across the state closing and shifting operations towards regionalization, the DEQ realizes there may be more questions on how to appropriately manage dead animals and offal or visceral generated at meat processors or slaughterhouses.
During the seminar, Caitlin Youngquist with the University of Wyoming Washakie County Extension Office will provide participants with the basics of how to successfully compost both whole animals and
offal or visceral. In the afternoon participants will work with Caitlin to construct a compost windrow. The
DEQ will also be there to discuss solid waste permitting requirements and funding opportunities.
Please consider joining us in person to take part in this unique hands on training opportunity. If you are
unable to attend in person but would still like to join us please email Jody Weikart at jody.weikart@wyo.gov for a Google Hangout link.
The May 26th seminar will be held at the Sundance City Hall, 213 East Main Street, starting at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude by 2:30 p.m.
The June 1 st seminar will be held at the Uinta County Library, 129 South Franklin Street, Lyman, starting at 10:00 a.m. and will conclude by 2:30 p.m.
