Home Composting

Composting is a form of waste disposal where organic waste decomposes naturally under oxygen-rich conditions.  In addition to food waste, yard waste, such as grass clippings and leaves, can also be added to compost containers. These items will help increase decomposition and help reduce odor as materials break down.
