Separating food waste can reduce approximately 1/3 of a resident’s waste. Composing is a controlled, aerobic process that converts organic materials into a nutrient-rich soil amendment or mulch through natural decomposition. It is an amazing soil amendment and can be added to vegetable or flower gardens and lawns. By adding compost to your gardens and lawns, you can conserve water, grow healthy plants, reduce the use of fertilizers and pesticides and protect the environment.
