“Backyard composting is easy, rewarding, and something the whole family can get involved in,” says Rae Stewart, waste reduction facilitator.

“Imagine the satisfaction of making your own valuable soil enhancer for your garden, all from kitchen scraps and green matter from your yard, material you would otherwise just toss away!”

Stewart adds that one third to half of household waste is easily compostable.
