The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) estimates that more food waste reaches landfills than any other single material in our everyday trash! Composting your food waste is one of the easiest ways to have a positive environmental impact and has the potential to divert 20% or more of your everyday trash. This saves space in landfills and reduces emissions. Compost increases soil health, creating stronger healthier plants, reducing their susceptibility to disease, and reducing the need for pesticides and chemical fertilizers. Not sure if composting is right for you? It’s easy to get started and we’ve got resources to help. Visit OntarioCountyRecycles.org.
“Ontario County values the proper management of our waste streams and wants to assist our residents in their waste reduction efforts. Backyard composting is an easy way to start a journey towards sustainability and increase waste diversion efforts at home. We hope to help jump start or support your backyard composting efforts by offering the necessary tools.”
