Why Compost?  Composting helps to keep the high volume of organic material out of landfills and turns it into a useful product.

Did you know that about 25% of your trash is compostable? Lawn clippings, shrub and tree trimming, leaves, and food (except for dairy products, meats, and grease) are organic health food just waiting to be returned to the soil. So instead of sending your green waste and food to the landfill and end its usefulness, recycle the natural way, by COMPOSTING!

It is a great soil ammendment for your plants and garden.
