Keep it out of the landfill! Compost it!

Many items that we are used to throwing away, can actually be composted. By composting items instead of sending them to the landfill, we can lower costs, reduce greenhouse gasses, and create a valuable soil amendment.

The graphic shows the contents of a typical kitchen trash can. Many of the items pictured could be composted instead of being sent to the landfill. Click the information buttons in the graphic to learn more about compostable items. Next time you need to dispose of one of these items, add it to your compost instead!
