Campaigns & Outreach Events
Klickitat County Solid Waste Department is dedicated to educating its residents and providing a comprehensive set of resources. We have a beautiful county and in order to keep it that way we need each of you to participate. These campaigns are ways for us to do public outreach of specific programs that have a major impact on our waste management.

The Goldendale Home and Garden Show
Pete DuBois heads up the Master Composter program for Clark County, WA where he intensively trains 40 master composters per year. In addition, Pete presents workshops to the community covering many aspects of home composting including hot composting in a backyard bin, worm composting, lasagna composting, trench composting and inside the home Bokashi composting. You can watch Pete in composting action on his YouTube page https://www.youtube.com/@compostingpete including a video with 70,000 views on making compost from coffee and paper. Pete also has content on Instagram at https://www.instagram.com/composting.pete/ .
Washington State recently passed a law requiring a 50% reduction in food waste going to the landfill. Pete personally diverts 10,000 pounds of fruit and vegetable pulp from a local juicer to run experiments on how to transform food waste
into living soil.
