Why

Compost?

Composting food scraps returns valuable nutrients to the soil, reduces the need for chemical fertilizers, and keeps usable material out of landfills. When organic waste sits in landfills, it generates large quantities of methane, a harmful greenhouse gas that contributes to climate change.
