Composting is nature’s way of recycling. Why do it?
Benefits the environment by recycling valuable organic resources and extending the life of our landfills.

Saves water by helping the soil hold moisture and reducing water runoff.

Holds carbon in the ground for longer, instead of releasing it into the atmosphere.

Helps garden and house plants by improving the fertility and health of your soil.
