Why Compost?

Across our Nation communities are rapidly running out of landfill space. Consequently, we must make our landfills last longer. One way to do this is to compost organic waste, which comprises as much as 30 percent of the household trash and yard waste going into landfills and incinerators. Homeowners who compost not only extend the life of our landfill and reduce the cost of collecting household garbage, but also recycle the nutrients in organic waste to create a valuable soil amendment for their gardens.
