Composting at Home
Kitchen and yard waste comprise 30% of our household garbage in the Region. If we all composted kitchen and yard waste, in addition to recycling paper, cardboard, glass, tins and plastics, we could reduce the garbage destined for Hartland by half! Home composting is the most efficient way to manage these materials, plus you get to use the finished product in your yard as a valuable soil amendment.
