This document discusses composting as a way to manage organic waste. It explains that composting is a natural process where microorganisms break down organic materials into nutrient-rich compost. Making compost reduces waste sent to landfills and produces a material that improves soil quality and supports plant growth when used in gardens. Data on compost production from food scraps and yard waste over two dates is presented, showing about 44% of the total waste was converted to compost.
