Why Compost?composting

Composting is a natural process in which bacteria and other organisms break down kitchen and yard waste into humus - a rich, dark, soil-like material that enriches gardens, boosts lawn fertility and retards soil erosion.

Backyard composting is an easy, effective way of reducing your garbage and it can divert one third to one half of your curbside waste from landfill sites.

Composts are available for purchase at our landfill for $50.00 EACH
