Spring Has Sprung: The Benefits of Composting

Comp at home

Spring has sprung and April is National Garden Month. While we’re home and trying to occupy ourselves during our newfound free time, why not put a spin on traditional gardening and start composting in your home garden? Most of us have found ourselves cooking more and accumulating leftovers, which makes it the perfect time to reuse leftover food waste.

Composting can reduce trash disposal by up to 35 percent and preserves precious landfill space for waste that cannot be repurposed or recycled. By working together on creative ways to reduce waste, we can expand the life of our finite resources for years to come.
