Reduce
yard and kitchen wastes by allowing them to "recycle" naturally in your compost
pile.
Composting
helps reduce the amount of solid waste added to our landfills.
Even
apartment-dwellers can create their own compost pile, then add the compost to
potted plants!
Did
you know that you can "recycle" your kitchen scraps and yard wastes, turning
them into nutrient-rich soil that can be added to a home garden or donated to
a friend? Composting is nature's way of recycling organic matter and returning
it to the earth. Above all, this practice prevents pollution by saving space
in landfills and preventing groundwater contamination.
