Compost food waste
Published in
Did you know that your household food waste can be placed into your compost bin and co-composted with your green waste? The moisture from the food is a good addition to the green waste to promote high quality land application material. It also helps to promote less frequent rubbish can bag changing since there is no rotten food creating moisture and smell. For more information about composting, visit the US Composting Council at www.compostingcouncil.org.
