Organic waste—food waste and yard waste—accounts for a significant portion of what fills up a landfill. And unfortunately, when organic waste is disposed of in this way, it releases harmful emissions. Residents and businesses can reduce the amount of waste sent to the landfill by backyard composting organic waste, participating in a community composting program, or by “grasscycling.” Learn about grasscycling and composting at RethinkWasteNL.ca.
