Compostable Waste
Compostable waste refers to organic materials that can decompose naturally and enrich the soil. This type of waste includes items like fruit and vegetable scraps, coffee grounds, eggshells, and yard waste such as leaves and grass clippings. When composted, these materials break down into nutrient-rich compost, which can be used to improve soil health in gardens and farms.
Unlike regular trash, compostable waste does not contribute to landfill problems. Instead, it can be processed in a compost bin or facility, where microorganisms and worms help break it down. This process reduces greenhouse gas emissions and promotes sustainable waste management practices.
