The Multi-Materials Stewardship Board is touting the benefits of recycling organic waste during International Compost Awareness Week.
Items that can be composted include food and paper materials, which will go through a natural decomposition process, with the end result being a soil filled with nutrients.
MMSB is encouraging residents to make composting a part of their recycling habits in efforts to combat climate change.
Information on what can be thrown in the compost and how to get started can be found online.
