Approx. 40% of landfill waste is organic material. The problem with this is that once in the landfill this organic waste doesn’t have enough oxygen to compost. Instead, it produces methane – an incredibly potent greenhouse gas.
Whether you’re looking for resources to help you make your own compost or have someone else process it for you, our composting team is here to help make it as easy as possible for you to divert your food waste from the landfill.




There is no registration required with an industry stewardship organization for composting. However, there are multiple good resources available to help you and your community choose the right method for composting.
