*4.1.1 Phase I: demonstration stage*

 In order to demonstrate, both to citizens and public managers, the role of community composting in the province of Pontevedra, the Provincial Council put a selective process in motion at the end of 2015. This process was aimed at municipalities that were willing to implement the management of bio-waste through community composting. The municipalities interested in this new model were selected based on the following criteria:


 From this announcement, 22 municipalities were selected and 221 modular units in 46 CCCs were installed in October 2016. In turn, master composters were selected and trained to give technical support, participate actively in the physical work of community composting and solve doubts and problems that may arise during the phases of the process.
