Sunday 5 May – Saturday 11 May 2019
International Compost Awareness Week (ICAW) is the largest and most comprehensive education initiative of the compost industry. Throughout the week of ICAW, community and business events are held across the world to encourage and celebrate composting. Events include tours of compost sites and allotment facilities, school talks and workshops, compost workshops on allotments, talks and lectures as well as publicity on local TV, radio and in the press.
Get involved!
ICAW provides the opportunity for the National Allotment Society (NAS) and Allotment Societies across the country to promote allotment gardening and demonstrate their commitment to reducing waste sent to landfill and good environmental practice. While Master Composters, Garden Organic, local councils and others will be organising events over the country during the week, the NAS, with our network of local allotments, could take the lead in ensuring maximum community involvement.
