Organic Composting
Transforming Kitchen and Garden Waste into Nutrient-Rich Compost
The composting process
At ZeroToLandfill, we embrace nature’s cycle of decomposition to turn organic waste into rich, fertile compost. Using eco-friendly methods, our composting initiative involves breaking down garden waste, food scraps, cardboard, and paper in carefully managed environments.
Over time, with the right balance of moisture, air, and temperature, the organic material decomposes, forming a dark, nutrient-rich soil enhancer that benefits our urban farms.
