Why Should I Compost?

Take Time to Reduce Waste

Composting is a great way to reduce waste! Did you know that as much as 30% of the garbage that we throw away can be composted? Reducing waste decreases our dependence on landfills and is sound environmental management for the entire community.

In Elgin, composting and grasscycling can also help to save you money by eliminating the need to purchase paper yard waste bags, prepaid refuse stickers, and lawn fertilizer! Furthermore, think of all of the time and effort saved by not having to fill those yard waste bags for pick-up!
