Why Compost?
- Composting reduces the amount of waste going to landfill
- Over half of your waste is compostable, like vegetable and fruit peelings, tea and coffee grounds, garden waste and paper and cardboard in small amounts
- Organic waste rots in landfill making methane, which is a greenhouse gas that increases the effect of global warming
- Home compost is free and can improve your soil by adding nutrients, helping water retention and healthy plant growth
