The Green Team Food Scrap Collecting and Compost Project, 2026
The Richland Place Green Team Food Scrap Collecting and Compost Project, 2026, offers a good alternative place to put your garbage. Composting can reduce landfill volume by 25-45%. Considering the cost of creating and maintaining landfills, composting can turn this expense into a profit by creating useful items such as fertilizer, compost, and mulch.
