WHY COMPOST
Composting reduces what is being sent to the landfill. Fewer food scraps sitting in the landfill means that less methane gas is created and precious space is not being used for food waste.

01
What’s wrong with sending food scraps to landfills?
We are realizing that this thing we’ve been doing our whole lives has been contributing to global warming. They create methane, a greenhouse gas that is 34 times more damaging than CO2.
02
What’s right about sending food scraps to commercial composting facilities?
The food scraps in the commercial composting facilities are given the right environment to biodegrade thus do not contribute to methane gas production.
03
Composting diverts organic waste
You can divert 100% of your organic waste, including materials that worms can’t eat. This precious resource can be added back to our soil, so we can continue to grow plants, including food.
04
Composting saves valuable resources
Composting gives the vitamins and minerals of food scraps back to the Earth to create healthy soil. Using this rich soil reduces the need for water, fertilizer, and pesticides.

We have been using Collective Resource as our composting service for the past year. We only wish we had known about it earlier. Since we started composting our garbage has gone down to less than 1/2 bag a week. As children of the 60s, this makes us feel better about our place in the world.

Collective resource makes composting at home a breeze. Thanks to them and local recycling our household generates only a single weekly bag of trash. Service is top notch!
