No Food Wasted!
Why compost?
Food waste is one of the single, largest components of solid waste in U.S. landfills, which can be prevented from ever entering our landfills by way of compost.
Here are the top reasons why you should compost waste.
1. Keep Food Waste Out of Landfills. One of the clearest benefits of composting is landfill diversion. Food scraps do not need to be treated as permanent waste.
Through organic waste recycling in Indianapolis, materials that would otherwise be discarded can instead become part of a productive biological cycle.
2. Reduce Methane Emissions. Earth’s thermometer is heating up and methane gas is the primary reason. Food waste rotting in landfills is an important source of methane emissions. Composting food scraps instead of landfilling them can reduce those emissions and the use of oil-based fertilizers. That means something as ordinary as participating in curbside compost pickup in Indianapolis can contribute to a much larger environmental objective.
One household or business may not seem significant. One neighborhood is more significant. Thousands of households, restaurants, businesses and institutions participating together can create meaningful diversion.
How composting saves the soil
Food scraps become compost. Compost improves soil. Healthier soil supports plants. Plants produce more organic material. The cycle begins again. Nature wins every time. Easy peasy.
Nature always wins. Composting is an acceleration of the same process nature uses to decompose organic materials into a rich material known as compost. By composting, you are returning nutrients back into the soil in order for the cycle of life to continue.
