Composting Does Help
According to the DENR, composting really helps:
- About 12 to 15 percent of all the waste going into the landfill is food waste
- On average, food waste and yard waste can add up to one-third of a ton per household each year
- Junk mail/paper that can’t be recycled – could be compost in back yard (hand towels, napkins, paper plates, toilet paper tubes etc.)
