Food Case

In the landfill, food and soiled paper is a wasted resource. As these materials and other organics decompose they generate harmful greenhouse gases such as methane. When food and soiled paper are composted at a compost facility this causes an aerobic process (oxygen) Both food scraps and food soiled paper can compost very well into a soil amendment that is valuable to soil and plant health.

You may be putting your vegetative materials in a worm bin and that is another great alternative. However, technological advances now allow safe collection and processing, and nearly 100% of King County now has curbside collection of food scraps mixed with yard waste where materials are made into compost by Cedar Grove Composting (external).
