Frequently Asked Questions
What Can I Compost?
Most anything that is made of biodegradeable and/or organic material can be composted! Even some items which may not be suited to backyard composting - such as citrus rinds, cooked meat, bones, and weeds - can be processed by our commercial facility. Everything from paper, to food scraps, to cotton!
What CAN'T be composted?
Anything that is a man made material cannot be composted - even if it's only a part of it! That means no plastic at all, no metal, foil, glass, ceramic, polyester, etc. Even if only part of the packaging is plastic, we cannot take it unless the plastic is removed. That means that things like milk cartons - which are plastic lined, or items such as latex gloves, cannot go in the compost.
Why is spreading the word important?
The more people start composting, the less organic waste goes into landfills. In the U.S., roughly 70% of waste sent to landfills is biomatter. That means we could be diverting 70% of our trash away from the landfills, where it would be buried and turned into methane gas, and instead turn it into nutritious compost soil.
What are the benefits of compost soil?
Finished Compost soil is full of nutrients and benefits! It helps to draw more carbon into the soil, promoting health of the microbes living in the soil that make plant systems strong. It also improves soil water retention, meaning plants need water less often. Additionally, compost if packed with nutrients that helps plant root systems to thrive, making them bigger,m stronger, healthier, and better food for us. It's a win-win-win!
