What is Rot?
Composting (rot) is an easy way to recycle most of the organic
materials generated at home or specific types of businesses. Whether
you live in a house, apartment , or mobile home, composting is an
easy and fun way to combine your yard trimmings and kitchen scraps
into a valuable soil amendment.
Studies show that 25 to 30% of a family's waste is organic. The
following materials can all be composted: fruit and vegetable
scraps, coffee grounds, tea bags, grass clippings, manures, hair,
pasta, bread, in short, all food scraps. However, it is
recommended that you do not compost meat, bones, dairy products and pet
waste. More directions are
here.
