COMPOSTING
The Dirt on Food Waste
Sending your food scraps to rot in landfills contributes to the production of methane - a greenhouse gas 25 times more potent than carbon dioxide. Let us collect your compostables and make them part of the natural ecological cycle.
Landfills are among the nation's largest sources of methane, contributing to global warming.
