Composting food waste and yard trimmings is beneficial as it reduces methane in landfills. Composting breaks down organic materials with oxygen and microorganisms, and the resulting compost can be used as fertilizer to replace chemicals in agriculture. One can compost by creating a pile with a garbage can or using a service to compost food scraps. Food waste in landfills produces the most methane as it decomposes, so composting helps the environment.

COMPOST WASTE INTO A USEFUL RESOURCE! Composting breaks down food naturally with access to oxygen and microorganisms and reduces methane production. Compost can replace fertilizer and chemicals in agriculture and keep methane and toxic leachate, seepage from landfills, from harming our air and water supply. Create a compost pile using a garbage can, or look for a company that will take your food products and compost them for you. Dispose of fruits and vegetables, coffee grounds, tea leaves and bags, egg shells, newspaper, and garden waste in a way that helps protect the environment. Food waste is the largest component of waste in landfills, and it produces methane as it decomposes. Kassandra Woods
