Compost with us.

​

What is Compost?

Compost is organic material that can be added to soil to help plants grow.

 

Why should you Compost?

According to the EPA, Food scraps and yard waste together currently make up more than 28 percent of what we throw away, and should be composted instead. Making compost keeps these materials out of landfills where they take up space and release methane, a potent greenhouse gas.

​
