About Organics & Food Composting Recycling
Food waste is one of the largest contributors to landfill waste, releasing harmful greenhouse gases as it decomposes.
Composting offers a sustainable solution by turning organic waste into nutrient-rich compost that can be used to improve soil health, reduce the need for chemical fertilizers, and support sustainable agriculture. Items such as fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and yard waste are ideal for composting.
Successful composting requires separating organic waste from other trash and maintaining a balance of "green" (nitrogen-rich) and "brown" (carbon-rich) materials. Compost piles or bins should be properly aerated and kept moist to encourage decomposition.
Many municipalities now offer curbside composting programs or community composting centers, making it easier for households and businesses to recycle food waste. By composting, we can significantly reduce landfill waste, lower greenhouse gas emissions, and create a closed-loop system for organic materials.
