Composting is the natural process of breaking down organic materials, such as food scraps and yard waste, into nutrient-rich compost that can improve soil.

What materials can be composted?

Common compostable materials include fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, tea leaves, eggshells, leaves, grass clippings, and other untreated plant-based yard waste.

Why is composting important during Earth Week?

Composting helps reduce the amount of organic waste sent to landfills while returning valuable nutrients to the soil, making it a practical way to support environmental sustainability during Earth Week and beyond.
