What is Organic Waste?

Organic waste is anything that was once alive. While food waste covers what we eat, organic waste casts a wider net.  (According to an article about Organic Recycling in Rubicon) 

2-N-1 KITCHEN COMPOST BUCKET $32.98

Organic waste includes:

•     Fruits
•     Vegetables
•     Bakery items

•     Eggs and paper egg cartons
•     Dairy products

Kitchen Accents® SS Kitchen Composter $54.00

Unfortunately, most of the organic waste items listed above end up in landfills. When organic waste is put in landfills, the bacteria that break down the waste creates methane. Methane is a harmful greenhouse gas. When we divert organic waste brought to landfills, we put useful things to better use and reduce methane emissions.
