during the event held at the Town of Gilbert Maintenance Yard. The annual competition gives public works maintenance employees from around the state an opportunity to compete and enjoy the camaraderie that comes with working in a specialized field. Chandler placed first in four events, second in one event and third in two events, securing the rodeo’s overall traveling trophy with most wins and places in all events. The City of Mesa placed second in this year’s competition. The Town of Gilbert won the traveling trophy last year, which was previously held by Chandler. MSA was established in 1966 for public agency employees and private vendors working to improve standards and practices for the maintenance and operation of public works facilities and services. It promotes the exchange of information and professional development for employees in the public works field.
Decomposition and decay are frequently viewed as undesirable, but not in Chandler’s popular composting classes. A backyard composting workshop is being offered by the city’s Solid Waste Services Division from 9 a.m. to noon on Sat., April 27. The workshops will be held at the Chandler City Hall east lobby entrance, 175 S. Arizona Ave. Composting is nature’s way of recycling, and residents will learn the best way to make this happen with their grass clippings, leaves and kitchen scraps. The result is a beneficial organic soil material that can be used in yards to improve soil texture, increase the ability of soil to absorb water and air, suppress weed growth, decrease erosion and reduce the need for commercial soil additives. In composting, organic material such as leaves, grass clippings, prunings and fruit and vegetable scraps are mixed together in a pile or bin, where millions of tiny microbes digest the material and turn it into a nutrient-rich soil amendment. Enrollment priority will be given to Chandler residents receiving cityprovided refuse service. Nonresidents will be placed on a waiting list. The workshops are free, but registration is required by calling 480-782-3510.
