Request Information Why Recycle Organics? Creates Sustainable Products Composted organic material enriches soil with nutrients, reducing the need for fertilizers. Minimizes Landfill Waste Only 5% of food is composted in the US, as a result food waste is the most common trash in landfills. Reduces Greenhouse Gases Diverting organics from landfills and incinerators reduces greenhouse gas emissions.
