On Monday, May 4th, the Town of Lexington helped promote the start of International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) as the National ICAW Kick-Off organization for this year’s annual week. They were joined by Tetra Tech, sponsor of the kick-off event. Traditionally, the national launch for ICAW is held onsite, but due to COVID-19, this year the program was held “virtually.” Throughout the day, a series of educational videos were shown highlighting the work the Town of Lexington has done to promote compost use, home composting and organics recycling. Tetra Tech also created a video on separating organics recycling. The different videos can be found on this page: https://www.compostfoundation.org/icaw-get-involved-events
