Composting

What is Composting?

Composting is the natural process of decomposition and recycling of organic material into a humus (which is a rich soil amendment known as compost).

Did you know?

About 1/4 of the 'waste' in modern landfills could have been composted and returned to the soil.


By composting, you help save landfill space for only those items that don't have a better final resting place.

You can compost anything else that was once alive at our Commercial Composting Facility.

This includes bones, napkins, egg shells, hair, leaf & limb, corks, greasy pizza boxes, meat, dairy, paper products, certified compostable products, and so much more.
