According to national figures, food and yard waste account for approximately 25%
of the waste stream. Although these materials are not technically "recyclable,"
they can be composted!
Composting is the process by which micro-organisms decompose organic material, producing
a nutrient rich soil amendment for your garden or house plants. Chittenden Solid Waste
District would like to encourage all residents, businesses, and institutions to consider
composting.
