COMMUNITY TRAINING TO PERFORM HOME COMPOSTING
The article presents the training experience in home composting carried out with residents of the Vila Izidora community in partnership with IFMG – Santa Luzia Campus and Belo Horizonte City Hall – Sustainable Territories Project. The course was an opportunity to pass on technical composting knowledge to ordinary citizens, enabling access to a form of organic waste treatment that allows the retention of waste at the generating source and directly impacts the final destination of organic waste in the city of Belo Horizonte. The experience proved to be fully replicable in any city and can be carried out with little investment, which makes it possible to apply it as a public policy.

Abstract:
The article presents the training experience in home composting carried out with residents of the Vila Izidora community in partnership with IFMG – Santa Luzia Campus and Belo Horizonte City Hall – Sustainable Territories Project. The course was an opportunity to pass on technical composting knowledge to ordinary citizens, enabling access to a form of organic waste treatment that allows the retention of waste at the generating source and directly impacts the final destination of organic waste in the city of Belo Horizonte. The experience proved to be fully replicable in any city and can be carried out with little investment, which makes it possible to apply it as a public policy.
