By composting, you can remove more than 500 lbs of organic matter from your household waste per year, diverting it from collection, the landfill or incinerator. Composting is simply a combination of yard debris (like grass clipping and fallen leaves) and kitchen scraps (such as fruit and vegetables spoils), separated from the waste stream and placed into an environment suitable for decomposition. Through composting, you can experience the benefits of this rich soil additive giving you healthier and greener lawns and gardens.
