Composting is the process of breaking down organic waste—like food scraps, leaves, and yard trimmings—into nutrient-rich material that can be used to improve soil health. It’s a natural recycling method that turns what would otherwise be trash into valuable fertilizer for plants.

In terms of sustainability, composting plays a key role by reducing the amount of waste sent to landfills, which in turn cuts down on methane emissions—a potent greenhouse gas.
