QWhy compost?
A

Simple! Composting diverts food waste from landfills and helps preserve the natural beauty of our community. By diverting our food waste, we help reduce potent methane gasses that are omitted in to the atmosphere when food is trapped amonst trash and plastics.

Composting allows for the natural process of food waste and other organic material to properly breakdown in to nutrient rich soil.

QWhere does my compost go?
A

After pick-up, the food waste from your compost bucket is taken to our facility where it is processed, and fed to over 1 million worms.
