Every year, U.S landfills are filled with over a million tons of waste. One-third of landfill waste is made up of compostable materials. Composting can divert as much as 30% of household waste away from the garbage can., In landfills, organic matter lacks the air it needs to decompose quickly. Instead, it creates harmful methane greenhouse gas as it breaks down, increasing the rate of global warming, climate change, and your carbon footprint.

​

Not only does composting reduce trash in landfills, but also improves gardening or your backyard at home. With compost, you reduce the need for chemical fertilizers and have the benefit of suppressing plant diseases and pests. Compost enriches the soil with nutrients that enhances the ability for your garden to grow healthy plants and produce while reducing the volume of trash.
