How do I start a compost in Hazleton, PA?
I have no way to contact any departments in Hazleton PA. I am a citizen looking to start my own compost in my back yard. I would like to know the correct procedures to do this.

Dear Crystal,
I would strongly recommend that you contact your local Cooperative Extension Service Branch. Here is contact information for you: Penn State Hazleton Co-Operative Extension Service, (570) 459-1701.

Also, much information on starting and maintaining compost areas in your yard is available in many books. Check your local library. The Internet is also a good place for searching for information. You will find articles with step-by-step information, as well as videos that you will be able to watch.
In addition, see below for two good links for you to check.
Good luck.
