WHY COMPOSTING
Organic waste in landfills generates, methane, a potent greenhouse gas. By composting wasted food and other organics, methane emissions are significantly reduced. Compost reduces and in some cases eliminates the need for chemical fertilizers. Composting recycles essential nutrients back into the soil and promotes healthy plant growth
