Why compost?

Reuses waste 
With up to 40% of food in the U.S. wasted, composting keeps food waste out of landfills, reducing methane emissions—an extremely potent greenhouse gas—while creating nutrient-rich soil.  

It’s so easy! 
With half of municipal garbage being compostable, every scrap diverted helps. There are many ways to compost, including curbside service, dropoff locations (coming soon!) and DIY. Click the button to learn more.

​Leaves a legacy​
​Composting also strengthens communities, creating twice as many jobs as landfilling and turning waste into opportunity for people and the planet.
