Composting at Home

Composting is yet another method we can employ to create a more sustainable planet. Compost is rich in nutrients and commonly used in agriculture, gardens and landscaping. The process requires green waste, which can be comprised of leaves and food waste, and waiting for the materials to break down into humus over time.

While Meridian Waste does not provide any direct composting services to residents, we do encourage those who are interested to do their research and consider starting to compost.
