Keeping food and yard waste out of the landfill reduces harmful methane gas emissions. -Use this "waste" to create a nutrient-rich amendment for your garden. Compost reduces the need for synthetic fertilizers and pesticides. -Reduce water use and increase water retention. Compost increases your soil’s water-holding capacity and improves water retention.
