Compost Guide - Composting FundamentalsIntroduction to Composting
Introduction to Composting
Today, the use of composting to turn organic wastes into a valuable
resource is expanding rapidly in the United States and in other
countries, as landfill space becomes scarce and expensive, and as
people become more aware of the impacts they have on the environment.
In ten years, composting will probably be as commonplace as recycling
aluminum cans is today, both in the backyard and on an industrial
scale. Many states in the USA have stated goals or legislative
mandates to drastically reduce the volume of waste being sent to
landfills. Utilizing yard and kitchen wastes (which make up about 30%
of the waste stream in the USA [1]) is a big part
of the plan to minimize waste overall.You can contribute to the 'composting revolution' by composting your
own yard and kitchen wastes at home. If you have a large yard, you
might prefer the ease of composting in a three-bin system out by the
back fence. Cities and towns can promote composting through
home composting education efforts and the collection of yard wastes
for large-scale composting. Whatever your style of composting,
there's plenty of room to get involved!
