Disposal of Food waste in landfills is a growing environmental problem. 95% percent of food waste ends up in landfills and is the single highest component of our waste. Landfills are the 3rd highest producer of man-made emissions of the greenhouse gas methane. By diverting our food scraps into a compost collection we can work to reduce the environmental impact of food waste. We need to start now. Please add a food scrap compost collection to our next waste contract in our community.
