Composting is a fantastic way to reduce food waste, cut your household emissions, and create a resource to enrich your garden, landscaping, and more!
The Waste Reduction District, with Monroe County and the City of Bloomington, are exploring a composting network concept where residents can combine their food waste with neighbors who are willing to compost. They are currently conducting a community composting survey, which residents can take here.

This page contains all the information you need to get started with composting. Composting reduces food waste and diverts it from the landfill, where it would otherwise decompose and emit greenhouse gas emissions, while also providing valuable nutrients for yards, gardens, and other soils.
