WASTE REDUCTION

Composting

Our composting team is here to help make it as easy as possible for you to divert your food waste from the landfill and get started on your composting journey.

Approx. 40% of landfill waste is organic material. Once in the landfill this organic waste doesn’t have enough oxygen to compost. Instead, it produces methane – an incredibly potent greenhouse gas.

A solution is ensuring that food waste stays out of the landfill through various composting methods. You can find a wide range of composting information, resources, tools, and links on this page.
